In this episode, Crystal Yang and Courtney Delgado, two remarkable nurses, and founders of "Perky" in San Antonio, Texas, share their transformative journey and the strides they are making in the realm of breast cancer survivorship. Our conversation delves into the intimate process of nipple tattooing, a final step in breast reconstruction that embodies both empowerment and restoration for many women. Crystal and Courtney's personal experiences in oncology nursing have equipped them with a profound understanding of the complexities that survivors face, fueling their mission to advocate for individualized care and involvement in the healing journey. Further, the women in Crystal's own family who have battled breast cancer add value to her experience.
Championing the cause doesn't stop at the tattooing chair, as we learn from our guests' relentless battle for insurance coverage and their efforts to navigate the murky waters of healthcare bureaucracy. Their stories highlight the emotional and technical intricacies of the tattooing process, from addressing fears of pain to achieving natural-looking results. They underscore the crucial role of expertise, technique, and pigment selection in crafting tattoos that not only heal scars but also restore confidence. Survivors listening in will find solace in the fact that there are dedicated professionals like these two who understand the nuances of the journey and are fiercely advocating for their rights and well-being.
