Life Reconstructed: Navigating the World of
Mastectomies and Breast Reconstruction
Breast cancer survivor Kim Harms combines her own experience with extensive
research and walks readers through the process of mastectomy and breast
reconstruction, weighing the pros and cons, detailing the physical and emotional costs,
navigating relationships, and laying out the questions cancer fighters need to ask to be
their own best advocate. With a foreword by the medical director of Katzmann Breast
Center and chapters on everything from the distinct differences between reconstruction
and augmentation, to body image and intimacy issues created by the mastectomy and
reconstruction, Life Reconstructed is a compassionate, honest roadmap for the journey
to recovery.
