But when her plastic surgeon recommended a skin graft surgery to build up new nipples, she decided to incorporate art into her own personal healing process.

<p>The website is featuring 8 parts of <a href="http://growingbolder.com/media/health/cancer/confronting-cancer-part-8-181742.html">a documentary on Meg</a>. I&#8217;ve been in touch with both Meg and the folks at <a href="http://www.growingbolder.com">growingbolder.com</a> (for months now actually) and will be bringing you a Q&#038;A later this week or next.</p>
<h2>Before I prepare that Q&#038;A, I thought I&#8217;d ask you all &#8230; any questions for Meg?</h2>
