I look forward to sharing it with my patients.’Kat Tunnicliffe, oncological physiotherapist‘Having a breast cancer diagnosis can be a lonely and overwhelming experience, and there is an overload of information right from the start. Rosamund’s book is not only the manual I wish I’d had, but also warm, funny and kind. It's like having a big sister who has been through the same thing, right by your side. Informative and calming, Reconstruction should be prescribed at the moment of that frightening diagnosis.
