Abstract
Each year in the United Kingdom 48000 women receive a diagnosis of breast cancer (Jemal et at 2014). Most women opt to either have a mastectomy with or without reconstruction (Mortenson et al 2004). The aim of this thesis was to assess the longitudinal psychosocial functioning following mastectomy with or without breast reconstruction. The study highlighted that women who undergo immediate breast reconstruction suffer psychologically and physically more than women who have no reconstruction.
