Hi Glemmis, thank you for your honest response. That’s great to hear you are happy with your results. You sound very positive and that is good to hear At post op appointment with surgeon I had 5.5 cms LVI the options he gave me 6 months chemo 5 weeks radiation and the a mastectomy with DIEP and I met with plastic surgeon on same day who told me to expect $10 - $15 out of pocket ! Even with top cover. Radiation oncologist told me I had option of another lumpectomy?? I’m very interested in your DIEP. If I may ask did you have a lot of out of pocket expenses? I too am thinking like you. Instead of mucking around I wish it was done and dusted. You are an inspiration to me that there is light at the end of the tunnel and this most confusing time. All the best
