PreOp® Patient Education : Mastectomy Total Surgery

Patient ED @ 617-379-1582 INFO
Your doctor has recommended that you have a total mastectomy. But what does that actually mean?

Total Mastectomy is the removal of the breast.

In most cases, mastectomy is required in order to remove cancerous tissue from the body.

The extent of tissue removed is determined by the amount of cancer present in your body.

A total mastectomy involves the removal the breast, but not the removal of lymph nodes or chest muscle that lies underneath the breast.

Your doctor has recommended that you undergo a total mastectomy because the cancer in your breast has progressed to the point that it is in danger of spreading into other parts of your body and the only way to make sure that all of the disease has been eliminated is to remove the entire breast.

This is major surgery and the procedure will permanently change the outward shape and appearance of your chest. So make sure that you ask your doctor to carefully explain the reasons behind this recommendation.

[From the website: World Without Cancer : Vitamin B17 and Sickle Cell Anemia: The successful use of cyanates in the control of sickle cell crisis has been indicated clinically and experimentally. Thiocyanate, an intermediate product of the metabolism of Vitamin B17 is thought to be the active component. The recommended daily supplementation of Vitamin B17 is 50 to 100 m.g. for small children and 250 to 500 m.g. per day for the adult sickler.]
