About

The researchers are doing this study to find out whether it is practical (feasible) to conduct a larger study looking at the effects of the BREAST-Q Real-time Engagement and Communication Tool (REACT) on people's quality of life, interactions with their doctors, and medical interventions after undergoing routine breast conserving surgery or mastectomy. The BREAST-Q REACT tool shows scores from standard questionnaires completed before and after breast surgery about overall physical wellbeing, arm pain or tightness, the ability to move the arms and perform everyday tasks, and any symptoms related to the arms, and provides feedback including recommendations and detailed information that help explain these scores and guide topics for people and their doctor to discuss.
