Information For Women Considering Preventive Mastectomy Because Of A Strong Family History Of Breast Cancer

Developed by the Hereditary Cancer Clinic, Prince of Wales Hospital and the Centre for Genetics Education, NSW Health, Royal North Shore Hospital, Sydney, NSW

“This booklet is intended for women with a strong family history of breast cancer who may be considering the option of surgical removal of their breasts as a way of reducing their risk of developing breast cancer. This type of surgery is known as preventive or prophylactic mastectomy.

The booklet aims to:
     • Provide information about preventive mastectomy.
     • Explain what the surgery might involve and how it might affect you.
     • Discuss your options following surgery, such as reconstruction.
     • Explore some of the feelings you might be experiencing.
     • List some of the services available to help you.
     • Help in your decision making.

There are many things for you to consider if you are thinking of having preventive mastectomy. You may find it helpful to keep a notebook handy to jot down questions you would like to ask professionals as well as their answers.

The important thing to remember about preventive mastectomy is that there are advantages and disadvantages to the surgery.
It is your choice whether or not you have the surgery.
The decision is yours to make when you feel ready to make it.”
