The Mastectomy I Always Wanted

The Mastectomy I Always Wanted

Sep 13, 2024

Erica Neubert Campbell discusses her memoir about her breast cancer diagnosis, double mastectomy, and reconstruction.

While preparing for breast cancer surgery and reconstruction, Erica Neubert Campbell was understandably scared and anxious. She also had no idea what her reconstructed breasts would look like. Then a colleague shared that she had been through the same experience and showed Campbell her results. The information gave Campbell hope and strength, and she hopes to offer the same to other women with her new book, The Mastectomy I Always Wanted.

Listen to the episode to hear Campbell discuss:

  • why she wrote the book
  • how the book was a release, but also brought up a lot of the raw emotions she was feeling when she was first diagnosed
  • how she hopes the book, including the more than 50 photos, will help other women
