For a good book on a personal experience with a mastectomy, read Betty Rollins' book, "First You Cry". I cried with her and yes, there was even one part of the book that brought tears of laughter to my eyes. (My husband couldn't see the humor. Only someone who had undergone a mastectomy would.)
Oh, how I wish I had a book like that when I had my mastectomy. I wouldn't have felt so alone.
