Nonetheless, acceptance in North America is low (0\u201327%) and 25\u201350% of women electing surgery report psychological distress and\/or difficulty adapting following PM. Most women also report reduced cancer worry postoperatively. Psychological consultation to aid decision\u2010making and post\u2010surgical coping is not routinely offered. This retrospective, cross\u2010sectional study explored interest in and acceptability of psychological consultation for issues related to PM among 108 women who had undergone or were considering surgery.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:italic>Method:<\/jats:italic> Qualitative interviews were conducted with 26 healthy women who had undergone prophylactic mastectomy of both (bilateral) breasts (BPM), 45 women who had undergone prophylactic mastectomy of one breast (unilateral contralateral) (UPM) after diagnosis of invasive breast cancer in the other breast or ductal carcinoma <jats:italic>in situ<\/jats:italic> (DCIS), and 37 women who were considering having PM surgery.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:italic>Results:<\/jats:italic> Of the women who had undergone PM, more than half felt pre\u2010surgical psychological consultation was advisable; nearly 2\/3 thought post\u2010surgical psychological consultation would be helpful. All women currently considering PM believed psychological consultation would aid decision\u2010making and preparation for surgery. Strong support was reported in all groups for the emotional and informational value of speaking with a woman who had previously undergone PM.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:italic>Conclusions:<\/jats:italic> Narratives illustrate the nature and intensity of the need for psychological support and describe preferences for the role of the psychologist. Suggestions are offered for integration of psychological services for women deciding about or adapting to PM.
