More than 100,000 American women undergo mastectomy and breast reconstruction every year because of breast cancer. Thousands more are having double mastectomies to prevent it. So much has been written about breast cancer, and so much overlooks the reality of reconstruction when a woman has a mastectomy and opts for this process. It is difficult, painful, and traumatizing at times. Most women do not emerge with a new set of breasts and nipples in a single operation. Breast reconstruction usually takes months and can take years to finish. Some women never do, living without nipples or with imperfect results. Others opt not to have reconstruction at all. Still others struggle with one of the biggest women’s health questions today: lumpectomy and radiation or mastectomy?

Breast Cancer Surgery and Reconstruction offers a glimpse into the big picture of the various stages and types of breast reconstruction using stories and photos of real women. It offers a true picture of what breast reconstruction entails, and offers hope to those facing it. This is a book to help women with a variety of issues surrounding their choices, with powerful insights from women who have been there.
Industry Reviews
The authors base this book on their two year journey of conducting in depth interviews and
observing women as they went through breast cancer diagnosis and decisions regarding
mastectomy and reconstructive surgery. The simple language and the narrative approach to
writing about these difficult subjects makes the content interesting and easy to understand. The
glossary will further assist the reader to understand the anatomical and surgical terminology
used throughout the text.... The topics covered here affect many women, and most would not know where to start in asking the right questions of their doctors and surgeons to make sure they make the right choice for their circumstance. This book will help those women to prepare. Recommended.
