n her previou-s life, about five
years ago BC (Before
Cancer), Ellen Goldman had
breasts that were rather typi-
cal — pleasant enough, but
nothing memorable.
So when it was time for reconstruc-
tive surgery, she decided to go for the
gusto.
"I told my doctor I wanted cleav-
age," she says. "I wanted to be a
buxom babe."
Two surgeries and a great deal of
healing later, Goldman's breasts are as
generous as anything you'll see on
"Baywatch." In fact, they're enough to
make a well-seasoned expert like Hugh
Hefner sit up and shout "va-va-
voom!"
Today, amid these Days of Awe,
Ellen Goldman is grateful for life.
She's strong, she's ambitious, she's
laughing.
And she's determined, especially
this month, Breast Cancer Awareness
Month, to help others learn the truths
