Preventing Breast Cancer With Surgery – Is It Worth It?
Some women at very high risk for breast cancer consider surgery before cancer ever appears. But what does that really mean—and is it right for you? In this episode, Dr. Barbara 'Menopause' Taylor explains the different types of risk-reducing breast and ovarian surgeries, including prophylactic mastectomy and oophorectomy, and what kind of risk reduction they actually offer. (For example: removing both breasts can lower your personal risk by 65%, and removing both ovaries can lower it by 50%.) With warmth, clarity, and zero pressure, she helps you understand the benefits, the risks, and how to decide what gives you the most peace of mind.
