Written by a mastectomy'd mom of two, the book's relatable experiences and memorable characters (avocados play a pivotal role in the operating room) will help parents and kids explore a tough topic, as a family. In the end, children will feel more prepared for what lies ahead, and how they can help Mom recover. After almost 20 years listening to families at different points in the previvor and survivor journey, I am often asked: how do you talk to the kids? Now when it comes to the mastectomy, there is a helpful resource. What I love about 'M is for Mastectomy' is that it gives parents an entry point for a conversation with their children. The book does not shy away from the physicality of the procedure, gently guides how to interact with mom, and opens a door to discussing how everyone may be feeling. A practical yet tonally playful children's book about mastectomies has been oddly absent, until now. -Olivia Achtmeyer Boger, Founder & Executive Director of Runway for Recovery

Book excerpt: From a woman who’s made her living researching breast cancer—and who lived through it herself—a personal yet practical guide to the medical and emotional facets of this life-changing diagnosis A leading oncologist at the University of California San Francisco, Dr. Pamela Munster has advised thousands of women on how to cope with the realities of breast cancer, from diagnosis through treatment and recovery. But her world turned upside down when, at forty-eight years old and in otherwise perfect health, she got a call saying that her own mammogram showed “irregularities.” That single word thrust her into a wholly new role—as patient, and not only that of cancer but of the feared BRCA gene mutation as well. Suddenly, she realized that being a true “expert” in a disease was far beyond the scope of her medical training, and that she had a lot to learn if she wanted to hold onto her precious life. Weaving together her personal story with groundbreaking research on BRCA—responsible for breast cancer and many other inherited cancers affecting both women and men—Twisting Fate is an inspiring guide to living with the uncertainties of cancer. With authority, insight, and compassion, Dr. Munster uses her voice to create a safe space for genuine healing and honesty in a world otherwise too-often dominated by fear—and she is living proof of how important it is to embrace all the twists and turns of fate.
