The Beau Institute in Mount Laurel offers breast cancer survivors a chance at closure following surgery.
As an oncology nurse, Havertown, PA, resident Claire Marino had seen many women go through breast cancer surgery and reconstructive surgery afterward.

While the surgery—a bilateral mastectomy—was successful, Marino said the healing process following reconstruction was as much mental as physical. “Waking up every morning and seeing two surgery scars is awful,” she said.
