Considering reconstruction means making decisions at a time when women are most vulnerable. Often overwhelmed, fatigued, and
disheartened by their breast cancer diagnosis and treatment, women must make five key decisions:
1. Should she reconstruct her breast(s)?
2. Which technique does she prefer?
3. Which surgeon will perform the reconstruction?
4. Will she alter her opposite breast (if she's having a one breast removed)?
5. Will her reconstruction be performed with her mastectomy or later?
The Breast Reconstruction Guidebook is a comprehensive, unbiased, single source of information
for women who need to understand their reconstructive options.
The easy-to-read text and illustrations help women sort through the benefits and limitations of each reconstructive procedure
and know what to expect. Armed with information, they can make the decisions thatare best for them.
