Surgical breast reconstruction is seen by many women as the only
procedure that will ultimately enable transcendence of the
temporary, mastectomized state and facilitate rehabilitation of
their 'true', familiar, embodied self. Unlike other texts examining
breast cancer experience, this book argues that this
self-understanding is profoundly influenced by breast cancer
culture and the medicalization of the post-surgical body. In
addition the research establishes a strong link between, on the one
hand, the personal feelings and actions of women with breast
cancer, and on the other, powerful discourses and practices of the
breast cancer movement.
