My experience with breast cancer
- Illustrated, by Patricia Murray
In May 1985 I had a
left-breast mastectomy after being diagnosed with stage 0 ductal carcinoma. Over the next
two years I explored reconstruction options and then proceeded with reconstruction. During
the course of the experience I took many photographs of myself documenting the different
stages and the changing bodily landscape."
