Like so many breast cancer patients, Melissa Rabe was devastated when she was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer in January 2015. “But I also felt that I had to find a better way to combat this diagnosis.”Treatments for women vary from case to case, but Dr. Vincent Ansanelli, a breast cancer surgeon at Laser Breast Cancer Surgery in Long Island, New York, offered an option Rabe was unfamiliar with— laser treatment in breast cancer surgery. Instead of using a scalpel to cut and remove a cancer tumor, doctors use a carbon dioxide laser. Not wanting to take the risk, Rabe scheduled laser surgery with Ansanelli in May 2015. After Ansanelli performed a mastectomy on Nikki Rash, 51 a stage 4 breast cancer patient from Lakeland, Florida, she was ready to go home within the hour.
