In this episode of Breast Cancer Conversations, I had the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Kohli, the Director of Breast Surgery at Monmouth Medical Center in New Jersey. We delved into the multifaceted journey of breast cancer survivorship, emphasizing the importance of treating the whole person, not just the disease.
Dr. Kohli shared her insights on the increasing incidence of breast cancer in younger women and the importance of focusing on the quality of life for long-term survivors. We discussed the initial overwhelming phase of diagnosis and treatment decisions, and how crucial it is to consider mental and emotional health alongside physical health.
One of the key topics we explored was the decision-making process regarding surgery options—lumpectomy, mastectomy, and double mastectomy.
We also touched on the long-term management of side effects, particularly lymphedema. Dr. Kohli explained what lymphedema is, its risks, and the importance of early detection and proactive management. She introduced the use of bioimpedance spectroscopy for early detection and shared her approach to monitoring and managing this condition.
