Books

Amy Curran Baker, a Support Connection client and volunteer, has written a book:

Now What? A Patient's Guide to Recovery After Mastectomy
Amy Curran Baker, MaryBeth Brown, Linda Curran, MSN, APRN

In 2008, Amy Curran Baker was diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma and opted for bilateral mastectomy with Direct to Implant Reconstruction. Within three weeks of being diagnosed she had a mastectomy and was on the road to recovery. But after the surgery she had a lot of questions, the same that most women will have. As an Occupational Therapist, she knew some of the answers from her own clinical training and experience. But many more came from speaking with other women who had undergone mastectomies, from researching message boards, and a little bit of luck. Although everyone's experience is slightly different depending upon one's individual choice: mastectomy alone or mastectomy with reconstruction; the majority of the information applies to all women who had a mastectomy.

Amy and her co-authors include chapters on key issues all women face including wound management, scar massage, dressing and bathing, emotional recovery, and more. And although mastectomy is frightening, the authors make clear that today's procedure is not what it used to be. The book provides practical information women need after mastectomy and breast reconstruction surgery so they can focus on what matters most: healing and staying well.
