A Must Read for Any Breast Cancer Patient November 21, 2005

I had spent countless hours researching the different reconstruction options when I was fortunate enough to read about this book on the Young Survival Coalition's message board. I immediately ordered it and was amazed at the clear descriptions of the procedures. I also loved the section that guided you on how to prepare for the surgery. I can't say enough about this book!

What a valuable resource. Kathy Steligo puts all the facts in layperson's terms without talking down to the reader. In fact, her friendly tone made me think she was talking just to me. The book answered so many of my questions in a very reassuring way. Obviously, it can't replace a consultation with a plastic surgeon, but it really augments what I learned from my doctor. I plan to share this book with my plastic surgeon.

This book is exactly what I prayed for when I was told I would need a breast biopsy. I wanted to approach even the slight possibility of a mastectomy with knowledge.
I didn't know where to turn with my many questions and I wasn't even sure about what to ask until I discovered this excellent book with clear explanations on breast cancer surgery and reconstruction. Kathy Steligo's meticulous research and information on available resources took an enormous load off my mind at an extremely stressful time.

The book is easy to read, easy to follow and literally walks women through the process of breast reconstruction. Every woman who is facing mastectomy should have this book. I wish it was available when I was making my decisions 7 years ago.

This guidebook is excellent-it quickly brought me up to speed on all the current techniques for reconstructive surgery, how they compare, and what factors to consider for each one-before, during and after. The author is so down-to-earth that she makes learning about complex options-ones she's had to face herself-a lot easier. Knowing what questions to ask and how to understand the answers makes a huge difference when talking to your doctor. Get this book and read it before your next appointment.
