Shelley Ross urges FDA to let cancer survivors have breast reconstruction
Fighting for op: Shelley Ross had a double mastectomy to remove a malignant tumor - then a battle for reconstruction surgeryFormer television chief Shelley Ross has urged the FDA not to deprive cancer victims of the breast reconstruction that saved her lifeRoss, who won three Emmy's and a Peabody Award at the helm of ABC, had a double mastectomy in 2013 after discovering a tiny lump in her breast - a malignant tumor.But what should have been a one-year recovery turned into a much longer ordeal.Like thousands of other women, Ross's body rejected her FDA-approved breast reconstruction (made of freeze-dried cadaver), meaning it rotted inside her and left her upper body disabled.The agony came to an end when she found a doctor to perform a one-shot fat injection, taking her own adipose fat and injecting it into her chest.
