         Proposed Mastectomy Law  Change

(written by a surgeon);

I'll never  forget the look in my patients eyes when I had to tell  them they

had to go home with the drains, new  exercises and no breast. I remember begging

the  doctors to keep these women in the hospital longer,  only to hear that they

would, but their hands were  tied by the insurance companies.

So there I sat  with my patient giving them the instructions they  needed to

take care of themselves, knowing full well  they didn't grasp half of what I was

saying, because  the glazed, hopeless, frightened look spoke louder  than the

quiet 'Thank you' they muttered.

A  mastectomy is when a woman's breast is removed in  order to remove cancerous

breast cells/tissue. If you  know anyone who has had a mastectomy, you may know

 that there is a lot of discomfort and pain afterwards.  Insurance companies are

trying to make mastectomies an  outpatient procedure. Let's give women the

chance to  recover properly in the hospital for 2 days after  surgery.

This Mastectomy Bill is in Congress  now. It takes 2 seconds to do this and is

very  important. Please take the time and do it really  quick! The Breast Cancer

Hospitalization Bill  is important legislation for all  women.

Please send this to everyone in your  address book. If there was ever a time

when our voices  and choices should be heard, this is one of those  times. If

you're receiving this, it's because I think  you will take the 30 seconds to go

to vote on this  issue and send it on to others you know who will do  the same.

There's a bill called the Breast  Cancer Patient Protection Act which will

require  insurance companies to cover a minimum 48-hour  hospital stay for

patients undergoing a mastectomy.  It's about eliminating the 'drive-through

mastectomy'  where women are forced to go home just a few hours  after surgery,

against the wishes of their doctor,  still groggy from anesthesia and sometimes

with drainage tubes still  attached.

Lifetime Television has put this bill  on their web page with a petition drive

to show your  support.. Last year over half the House signed on.  PLEASE! Sign

the petition by clicking on the web site  below. You need not give more than

your name and zip  code number.

This  takes about 2 seconds. PLEASE PASS THIS ON to your  friends.
