Judith B. Zacher, M.D. Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery

"You probably do not remember me, but my name is Aggie Howard and about 22 years ago, you re-constructed my right breast as I had cancer and had to have a total mastectomy at Mt Carmel East Hospital. The procedure that you did was using my stomach muscles to make a breast.

I often think about you and how you changed my life and my attitude by helping me. I tell everyone I know what an important part you have in my life.

It still looks good only I have gained weight and the left side is much bigger. I wish you were still here in Columbus and I would come and let you make me even. The funny thing is there are plenty of Doctors like you here in Columbus, but I am afraid they will not have the expertise and the compassion that you showed me.

I am sure that your practice in California is a great success. If I should ever get out to California, I promise I will stop in and see you.

Since tomorrow is the Race for the Cure here in Columbus, I felt that I needed to say Thank You 22 years later.

May God Bless and Take care of you.
