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.

PLEASE… Sign the petition below to urge Congress to pass the Breast Cancer Patient Protection Act of 2007 (S. 459/H.R.758) to ensure no more women are forced to experience a “drive-through” mastectomy

It takes 2 seconds to do this and is very important … please take the time and do it!

Breast Cancer Hospitalization Bill – 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.
