From RUMC Connections by Meredith Gaskins

About this episode
This episode focuses on life after breast cancer surgery, discussing recovery, confidence rebuilding, and future innovations in care.
In our last episode, host, Meredith Gaskins, introduced you to Dr. Arthy Yoga, RUMC’s new breast oncoplastic surgeon, and explored what oncoplastic surgery is and how it works. On this episode, we’re shifting our focus to what happens next: life after surgery. For many patients, the journey doesn’t end once the cancer is removed – it’s about healing, rebuilding confidence, and looking toward the future with hope. Dr. Yoga will help us understand what recovery looks like, how women can regain quality of life after surgery, and what exiting new innovations are shaping the future of breast cancer treatment. We’ll also touch on why prevention and early detection remain the most powerful tools we have – and how RUMC ‘s Breast and Imaging Center is here for our community every step of the way.
