“All these doctors were pretty amazing,
but it just kind of goes to show you, at that
time, how the medical community operated.
They were very much in silos,” Healey said.
“If they had built the foundation in my face,
nothing would’ve pulled like it did, and then
they could’ve done the reconstruction. In-
stead, I spent a year and a half working on
my nose. And then suddenly, you look at
yourself, and you go, ‘Holy cow, I’m disfig-
ured in so many other areas now.’”
BEGINNING TO HEAL
After six procedures in all, his nasal re-
constructive doctor finally referred him to a
craniofacial specialist at University of Cali-
fornia-Los Angeles.
By then, he was in his mid-20s. His psy-
che was battered, and he was deeply inse-
cure about his appearance. But he’d soon
reach a turning point, one of many that have
helped him in life, he said.
This one was “the spark that alerted me to
the fact that reconstruction wasn’t going to
solve my underlying problems,” he said.
It came courtesy of a soon-to-be ex-girl-
friend who could no longer deal with his in-
security. “My physical appearance wasn’t an
issue to her, and I believed her, right? Because
she pursued me,” he said. “Here’s this beauti-
ful woman who had the world by the tail, and
I kept wondering, why the hell are you with
me? … That’s a turn-off for anybody.”

In college, Terry Healey, who moved to Bend four
years ago from the Bay Area, was diagnosed with
a rare cancer detected after friends began notic-
ing his nostril flaring, as in this picture.
Healey set to work on self-acceptance and
rebuilding himself on the inside.
It was the beginning of a journey that took
him to other turning points, such as going to
support groups, who gave feedback and truths
he couldn’t get from family and friends, who
tended to focus on positives. Support groups
gave him critical outside views.
The work led him to begin moving his life
forward, and to begin trying to help others
mired in their own struggles through his
book and his public speaking.
“I realized that I actually had an inspi-
rational story to tell,” Healey said. “They
thought their situation was so terrible, and
when they heard mine, they would be like,
‘Well maybe mine is not so bad. If he could
get through it, I can get through it.’”
