Participant E The following questions are those which were used to complete the mindmap.


Could you describe or recalled the emotions you had when you were first diagnosed? I was scared and anxious, it felt like my world was falling apart. Did undergoing this treatment change how you felt about yourself, for example, your self-esteem, your confidence, your outlook on life? Yes If answered yes to the above question could you provide more information? My life had just begun, I just discovered who I was then everything changed Did any of your treatment make you feel less empowered as a woman? Yes Did any of this journey make you feel like you were perceived differently in society? Yes If you had any surgery and we're left with scarring how do you feel about those scars, do they remind you of a difficult time that you went through, or do they represent your strength through your journey? I would like to cover the scars If you were to have a tattoo designed for you based on your journey what would be important elements to be included in the design? Since my diagnosis, I think of life as a gift, I became very spiritual so maybe something like a mandala, female Buddha something delicate Compared to your first diagnosis how would you say you feel now about your journey? I feel more open to life, more grateful for everything I experience Did you take any steps, or did you find anything useful and helping you regain your strength and empower you as a woman? My spiritual journey helped me a lot meditate I joined local meditation groups, those women embraced me and I felt whole again. Could you provide and information on the size of the scarring? My scar is only about 8 cms long and maybe 1.5 cms wide
