A Young Nurse and Her DIEP Flap Story

This is a fascinating story of a young woman, Lacey Terpstra-Reid, who graciously and professionally takes us through her Journey from being diagnosed with breast cancer, cold capping, the affect on her family and young daughters, and to the story of her DIEP flap breast reconstruction.
Lacey was familiar with the science behind the T-Stat flap monitoring system. In her work as an ECMO nurse she understands the parallels and how the oxygenation and blood flow that the ‪@tstatbyspectros‬ monitor used to monitor her flaps.

Lots of cancer in my family. I had genetic testing done and found out that I have the PALB2 mutation. Four months ago, I had my ovaries removed and last month I had the first of my cancer prevention breast surgeries. I’m having the DIEP flap surgery done July 9.
