Make Your Voice Heard: The Breast Cancer Patient Protection Act
Next week, Representatives Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) and Joe Barton (R-TX) will be reintroducing the legislation to Congress that will help protect women after undergoing procedures to treat breast cancer.
The Breast Cancer Patient Protection Act is a critical step needed to end the horrible practice of “drive-through” mastectomies, which forced women to check out of the hospital sometimes only hours after invasive breast cancer surgery.
Make your voice heard and call your Representatives in Congress and urge them to be an original cosponsor of this legislation.

How can they force you out of the hospital after a big surgery like that? Shouldn’t they give you a bit of recuperation time?
