89: The Benefits of a Preservation Mastectomy with Dr. Anne Peled

Reset Renew Revive

Today on Reset Renew Revive, we welcome Dr. Anne Peled to discuss how women with breast cancer can bolster their mind and body throughout treatment. As a survivor herself, Dr. Peled was committed to making the post-surgical transition easier for her patients and created the Sensation Preservation Mastectomy technique. This revolutionary approach to the mastectomy helps maintain nerves under the breast tissue and even rebuilds nerves when possible. This procedure improves confidence after surgery and makes post-surgical life safer.

Before the Sensation Preservation Mastectomy, patients lost sensation in the chest area which makes them susceptible to injuries that they could not even sense. Maintaining functional nerves ensures the safety of patients as they return to normal life.

Maintaining energy and morale is difficult with a scary diagnosis, so Dr. Peled shares how she managed her health with diet and exercise throughout her treatments. Sometimes the real threat of phycological stress does not come until after treatment stops and normal life begins again. Your mindset will impact your recovery. Dr. Peled encourages you to be kind to yourself as you transition back to your regular routine.

Breast cancer is not a death sentence and is actually highly treatable. You can take steps to protect your health, fertility, and phycological wellness in order to make a full and energetic recovery!

MEMORABLE QUOTE

“A lot of people actually do pretty ok psychologically during treatment cause they feel like they’re doing something active but there is a pretty frequent letdown after treatment that we see with people where it really hits them. They’re not doing something, their friends aren’t all around, they don’t have the schedule and it hits people really hard and so I think that’s a time to really give yourself grace in that moment and find space after your treatment which most people don’t expect.” [14:15] -Dr. Peled
