Intimacy After Breast Cancer: Dealing With Your Body, Relationships and Sex

Maisano is a two-time breast cancer survivor and founder of a non-profit organization aimed at improving the lives of women living with the disease. In her book, she explains how women who have survived breast cancer can find their way back to intimacy. She discusses how to deal with the emotional and physical scars left behind, how to regain confidence and self-esteem, and also how to deal with side effects of treatment, medications, weight gain, and types of breast reconstruction. She then addresses how they can rediscover their sexuality and deal with early menopause, loss of breast sensation, husbands, boyfriends, dating, and preparing for sex.
