Likely the breast removal was just a massive stress that brought up
the dystonia, ditto the surgery, rather than any direct effect on the
basal ganglia themselves.

I don't know what you think your work is going to do to repair damage
in the basal ganglia - this seems wishful thinking to me - but
keeping the advancement of the dystonia at bay - with or without the
botox - seems a reasonable goal - and one that I have done with a
number of cervical and vocal dystonia (s?).

Also, the series helps reduce stress, and stress reduction is the
golden road to reducing symptoms in these cases.
