Myself Together Again: A project to empower young women through the breast reconstruction process.

Through the whirlwind of medical appointments you’re keeping as a young woman diagnosed with breast cancer, reconstruction surgery may be the last thing on your mind. That’s understandable. One 32-year-old woman living in North Carolina felt the same way when she was diagnosed in June 2004. Reconciling herself with the idea of plastic surgery – before she’d had a mastectomy, before she’d even begun treatment – was daunting at best. Even more difficult, no pictures were available to her that showed the process of a young woman’s breast reconstruction, displaying a young woman’s curves and skin elasticity.

The Myself: Together Again story of delayed breast reconstruction following double mastectomy surgery that appears on these pages was inspired by Debbie*, who agreed to have the process photographed for this book so that other young women like her might have an idea of what to expect.
