Hi Michelle, there is a very good support group at the SAN hospital in Wahroonga. Not sure how old you are, but every Tuesday at 1 pm the group meets in Jacaranda lodge. This is open to all women who have had breast cancer. On every alternate Wednesday morning, (10am I think ) there is a group for young woman who have had breast cancer. Also, at the hospital, in the physio department they run exercise classes just for woman who have had breast cancer and surgery. This runs at 9.15 on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings. These are so much fun, and we all meet for coffee after in the hospital cafe. The exercises are designed specifically with breast surgery in mind. They also run water based classes. I do not attend these, so not sure of the class times, but there are a few each week. These classes cost about $21 each and you pay for the term. They can be claimed against your health fund. They also run a fantastic lymphodaema program as well if you ever require it. I am not sure what are other hospitals run these programs, but we have people from your area attending. I don't think Westmead or Norwest have similar programs, because we have people who have had there surgery over your way who attend these support groups and exercise classes. I hope this info is of use to you, and if you have any more questions, please feel free to message me. Love Chris xx
