Breast cancer survivor Antoinette Simmonds was diagnosed in 2013. "I remember waking up from surgery just not wanting to look, not wanting to look down," she said. M'liss Edwards comes to the BRA Day event every year. Surgeons and patients took part in the sixth annual BRA — Breast Reconstruction Awareness — Day event at Foothills hospital.
