Prophylactic mastectomy (PM) offers 90% or greater reduction in risk of breast cancer to women at increased hereditary risk. Nonetheless, acceptance in North America has been low (0–36%). Most women report reduced cancer worry post-operatively, but up to 25–50% of women electing surgery also report psychological distress and/or difficulty adapting following PM. Psychological consultation to aid decision-making and improve post-surgical coping isn’t routinely offered. This retrospective, cross-sectional study explored, quantitatively and qualitatively, interest in and acceptability of psychological consultation for issues related to PM among 108 women who had undergone or were considering surgery. Of the 71 women who had undergone PM, more than half felt pre-surgical psychological consultation was advisable and nearly 2/3 felt post-surgical psychological consultation would be helpful. All 37 women (100%) currently considering PM believed psychological consultation would aid decision-making and preparation for surgery. Narratives from the interviews illustrate the nature and intensity of the need for psychological support and describe preferences for the role of the psychologist. Suggestions are offered for the integration of psychological services for women deciding about or adapting to PM.
