The Need Is Great
Our greatest motive is to provide all women, regardless of their insurance or legal status with a quality of life most breast cancer patients are provided after a masectomy.
The Physical & Psychological Effects Of A Mastectomy
Breast cancer survivors are at elevated risk for spinal abnormalities (e.g., scoliosis) because of post-treatment changes in posture and bone health. Women without rescontructive surgury or breast prostheses are at a much highger risk for thoracic scoliosis caused by the imbalance of the chest.
The Psychological Effect
The psychological stress on women caused by mastectomy is far-reaching. A mastectomy brings problems to breast cancer patients who lose their breast after surgery, including psychological issues such as fear, depression, anxiety, and pessimistic despair.
Together
These challenges can considerably and negatively impact a patients’ self-image and psychophysiological and physical health and may seriously affect their quality of life.
