Masectomy?

When I read the article about the masectomy, I thought it was pretty sad that she didn't that much support. It's kind of like the same thing with gift giving- it's supposed about putting others before yourself, but most people inevitably project their own feelings instead of really considering the other person. Her relatives and everything objected to the surgery because they didn't like the idea of her body being changed so radically. But I mean how is chemo and all of that less destructive to a person than a masectomy? This woman might not even live long enough to experience the things her family wants for her if she doesn't get the surgery. I was glad at least the mother finally agreed with the surgery. Sorry but I just think that phys health should take precedence over body image.
