In this inspiring video, we share the incredible story of Kim Burris, a 45-year-old woman from Chapel Hill, whose routine breast reduction surgery led to the early detection of breast cancer.
During her surgery, Raleigh plastic surgeon Dr. Heather Levites noticed abnormal tissue, which was later diagnosed as ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), the most common form of breast cancer. Despite regular mammograms, Kim's cancer was not detected until this surgery.
