It was back in June of 2007 that Kathy Cook finally sat down with her doctor and made the tough decision to get scheduled for breast surgery in Fort Worth the following month. The way she saw it, she really had no choice because she had breast cancer, the very same disease that had taken both her mothers and her younger sisters life.
For Kathy Cook Of Fort Worth, Breast Surgery Was a Tough Choice
“I really didn’t want to spend my days in post op. recovery all screwed up and whacked out on hard narcotic pain medication and I told my doctor that”. “I had seen both my sister and my mother go through the same thing and they were like zombies. It made them sick and also it definitely effected their appetites, when eating well was so crucial to their recovery.”
Finally, healthy active post op. recovery with a clear mind!
A New Non Narcotic Pain Treatment System
Instead, Kathy’s surgeon was able to offer the option of using the new On-Q PainBuster Pump, a revolutionary post operative tool that is helping women all over the planet get through pain free recoveries without having to resort to heavy doping with narcotic pain medications. A device that delivers numbing medication directly to the injured area.
Her Fort Worth Breast Surgery Specialist Had This To Say
It accomplishes all this with a tiny catheter that delivers a non narcotic pain medication similar to what you would receive from a dentist. The actual amount and timing of the delivery is controlled by the patient, who simply presses a small button every time the pain begins to return. As her doctor noted: “This really is a big step! Thats because right now there really are very few pain relief options other than hard narcotics for patients who undergo this type of major surgery”.
