The Definitive Guide
Barbara Pfeiffer (Hoboken, NJ)
This is
the definitive guide for breast reconstruction. It covers every type of reconstruction, is fair and balanced and VERY readable.
It takes a complex subject and really makes it easy to understand. When you are facing such an emotional decision and hard
surgery - it helps tremendously to have information to help guide your decision making. This book is it. Highly recommended
before you consult with your first surgeon.

The Breast Reconstruction Guidebook
Clare (NJ)
I bought
The Breast
Reconstruction Guidebook
several weeks ago and it has been an incredible resource! Due to a genetic mutation (BRCA2), I'm preparing for bilateral
prophylactic mastectomies. The
Breast Reconstruction Guidebook clearly
explains mastectomy and reconstruction procedures, questions to ask my potential surgeons, how to prepare for surgery, and
what to expect during my recovery. Kathy Steligo's book has helped me sort out my options at a very scary time, and for
that I am truly grateful!

This book
became my bible during my recent surgeries. So much so, that I broke the binding reading and re-reading it. It offers something
for anyone remotely affected by decisions surrounding breast reconstruction. In a world where we can sometimes find too much
disjointed information on the internet, this book nicely summarizes the facts with an appropriate level of detail. Thankfully,
this book was available when I needed it!

Diane (Pasadena, CA)
Excellent book. Very informative, so much so that
my plastic surgeon will be ordering a few for his other patients. Knowledge is power and this book will replace the fear with
empowerment.

This book is great to read if you are contemplating a mastectomy and reconstruction. Its info was
great to know before consulting with plastic surgeons and choosing the right one for me. The practical suggestions of preparations
and after surgery suggestions make me feel more confident about what is ahead.

Sheila (Boynton Beach, FL)
Anyone who has to deal with breast cancer and reconstruction should read this comprehensive book,
written easy-to-understand and with empathy. It's so important to be informed before going through this major impact on
your life. I've been dealing with recurrent breast cancer but this is the first time for reconstruction. Breast cancer
decisions are very personal but we can make more educated decisions and this book helps immeasurably.
