[Margerie]

I would not have changed any of my treatment. It all, somehow timing and everything, turned out for the best.

I would have changed a few things however:

* not bothering with the wig. it was an uncomfortable mess and it was just to make others more comfortable anyway. Took me two months to let it go and I was so much happier in a bandana!

* not worrying about what other people thought of my situation (pity be damned)

* reached out to support groups (like this one) sooner


I did think outside the box, or really my geographic area, for my reconstruction choice. We did not have any DIEP surgeons within 4 hours of us, but the drive was worth it.
