πŸ’ͺ Three Generations. One Shared Legacy. Infinite Strength. πŸ’•
Meet Teresa, Janet, and Emma β€” a remarkable family connected not just by love, but by the inherited BRCA1 genetic mutation, which increases breast and ovarian cancer risk. Instead of fear, they chose knowledge, prevention, and empowerment.

From prophylactic surgeries to a personalized approach with three different types of breast reconstructions with Dr. Mark Smith, Director of Reconstructive Oncology at Norwell Health's Cancer Institute and Executive Driector at the Friedman Center, each generation has faced this challenge head-on with courage and grace.

Their story is a powerful reminder: Genetics is not your destiny. Action is. πŸ”¬βœ¨

πŸ‘ Cheers to the survivors, the previvors, and the advocates helping others find their strength.

From Alaska to New York β€” Randee’s journey is nothing short of inspiring!

We are honored to have been part of her breast reconstruction journey. After traveling over 3,000 miles to the Friedman Center, Randee returned to complete her second stage surgery and is now heading homeβ€”stronger and more empowered than ever.

Pictured here with Dr. Neil Tanna and Emily Kalberer, NP, Randee reminds us all of the strength it takes to choose healing and wholeness. πŸ’—

We are so proud of you, Randee, and wish you continued strength and wellness on the next chapter of your journey!

Repost Katz Institute for Women’s Health

This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we’re highlighting the compassionate care of Dr. Cen, breast surgeon. She understands that a cancer diagnosis can feel overwhelming, which is why she takes the time to walk patients through every option, helping them feel informed, confident, and supported in their journey.

No matter the approach, her goal is always the same: removing the cancer and giving patients the best chance at healing. And for Dr. Cen, her favorite place to be is in the operating room where she can make that happen. πŸ’ͺπŸ’—

🧠 World Mental Health Day reminds us that caring for our emotional wellbeing is just as important as caring for our physical health.

At the Friedman Center, we know that the journey through breast cancer and reconstruction is not only physical β€” it’s deeply emotional. That’s why we offer πŒπ’π§ππ›π¨ππ² 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐒𝐨𝐧, a program designed to support healing through mindfulness, relaxation techniques, stress reduction, and emotional resilience.

🌿 By nurturing both mind and body, patients can move forward with strength, balance, and hope.

Today and every day, let’s continue to break the stigma, support one another, and recognize that mental health is health.
