Prophylactic Mastectomies?!


Question:

Prophylactic Mastectomies?

Is there a way to prevent breast cancer, health issues, by removing breast tissue BUT leaving nerves and putting an implant?
Never say never, it should be possible...is anyone working on this?


Answers:

I recall reading about a "prophylactic mastectomy" by a young woman whose family had been ravaged by breast cancer through several generations. Her breast cancer was almost imminent.

It should be noted that the radical mastectomy of yore is often replaced by the simpler and less intrusive "lumpectomy," in which only the cancerous legion and some surrounding tissue are removed.

Any way, back to your original question about preventive breast cancer tactics. Trust me, thousands of people are working on the every facet of this killer disease as you read this post.

Good luck-I wouldn't wish breast cancer on my worst enemy,
