Summary
The complete guide to what to expect when you’re expecting the worst.
Reconstruction is a pragmatic but positive handbook for anyone navigating a diagnosis of primary breast cancer. It contains clear, useful advice on what to do and what to expect at all stages of treatment, from questions to ask your doctors and practical ways to reduce your risk of recurrence, right down to what to pack in your hospital bag.
Written by journalist and breast cancer patient, Rosamund Dean, this reassuring guide combines the most up-to-date therapeutic information from a variety of medical experts with evidence-based lifestyle advice, and will help every patient to live well during treatment and beyond.
Critic reviews
‘A brilliant, comprehensive guide for anyone with a breast cancer diagnosis. Clearly and calmly written – I wish this had been available when I was diagnosed.’

Thanks for keeping me company through the long nights ✨
When the dark thoughts come out to play and the questions for Google flow freely, this book has been like having my very best no-nonsense friend gently holding my hand whilst firmly telling me how I can help my situation. I’ve learned new things about the intricacies of cancer, I’ve cried at how acutely Rosamund’s words resonated with my experiences, and I’ve felt reassured that, essentially, when the sh*t hits the fan, there are ways to dodge at least some of the downwind ;)

Brilliant book
Rosamund writes in such a relatable way that it makes for ‘easy’ listening on a very delicate and emotive subject.
I wish this book had existed when I received my diagnosis, but even post treatment, I’ve gleaned so much.
The bonus is that Rosamund narrates the book herself.
