Three cancer surgeries with chemotherapy and radiation treatments have taken their toll on Diane Matousek. She's considered cancer-free, but the aftereffects have been beyond belief. Diane had 9 reconstruction surgeries following her radical, double mastectomy, extensive dental work, a right shoulder replacement, 4 replacements of her left shoulder (that's right – the first three replacements failed), a total knee replacement and plans to replace the other knee when she recovers from the first one. Her rheumatologist believes the powerful chemotherapy drugs she received is to blame for damaging her teeth, her soft tissues, and the cartilage in her joints.
What is extraordinary about Diane is not the number of surgeries, pain, and rehabilitation she has endured. She is remarkable because of the positive outlook and zest for life that fills her days.
