This book is a must-read for anyone facing a mastectomy. Even if you don't plan on doing reconstruction it's important to see pictures of what your mastectomy is going to look like. Fortunately I was able to see pictures ahead of time - the pictures were a shock, but I was prepared when the bandages came off. It was much less traumatic for me to be shocked by a photograph than to be shocked by my own body. Facing a mastectomy is a frightening thing, but educating yourself ahead of time so you know what to expect will make the whole process more bearable. I am so thankful Myself: Together Again is available to educate women. I had other resources at the time of my surgery but this book is by far the best. It is tastefully done, and it's an honest and revealing account of mastectomy and reconstruction. This book is straight and to the point, and a quick read. This book is all about the photographs; there isn't much text but there doesn't need to be. Not only does it prepare women for mastectomy, it also offers hope that you can feel whole again and that reconstructed breasts can look incredibly real. I applaud Debbie Horwitz for having the courage to literally bare all for the benefit of other women. You will never fully know how many lives you have affected so positively and so deeply, Debbie! Thank you!

I am a woman in Florida who is very devoted to working in the breast cancer arena and in particular very concerned with women feeling good about their reconstruction outcomes. I share Debbie's story with everyone I meet because I have a lot of clients from Florida and many other parts of the world. Everyone I have given this booklet to has a change of heart. They had no idea what was involved. They thank me and yes they pass it on.

An act of kindness that could ease the difficulty of making decisions about treatment plans and reconstruction of many women.
