In this breast cancer book for women and caregivers, Erica Neubert Campbell shares an intimate and encouraging story of her double mastectomy journey. This is a powerful companion guide for women navigating the choice to have a mastectomy or a lumpectomy. Empower yourself with this supportive resource to build trust and resilience-from the day you are diagnosed to the moment you realize: "I got this."

Choosing a mastectomy is more than losing your original breasts. It's about the power of self-discovery, personal choice, and mindset. In this book, you will learn that the removal of fear is just as important as the removal of cancer. Women and caregivers will understand that a double mastectomy is an outer journey of physical change and an inner journey of mental strength.

Before her double mastectomy, a friend showed Erica her reconstructed breasts—and it changed everything. This rare moment of vulnerability allowed Erica to visualize the future and shift to a more hopeful perspective.
