Emotional wreck?

Just some calories from Tassie, that is all haha. xx

What have you been up to Mandy? XLeonie

and Bendigo will have some Tassie treats for you!

Congratulations on your talk. You are not alone and yes we are both normal.  At my last talk, with my QCC hat on, I got all teary as well.  It was telling the part of my story that included when I had a break, over Xmas 2006 during my radiation treatment when my now husband proposed to me on the Gold Coast beach.  I don't know what triggered it but it "got me".  I quickly took control of my emotions and continued on.  The positive feedback was amazing.  People came up to me during the afternoon and told me how inspirational I was.  We are all so vunerable and when people see "reality" playing out in front of them they are really moved.  (The group was a meeting of Rockhampton Business Women).  I love talking to others and now that I have sorted out this moving house event, I am READY to "get out there" .  Only 3 weeks until Bendigo!!XLeonie

Hi Kathy

thanks for that info- we returned from Ballarat with flu, Nigel got pneumonia and we have spent 2 weeks ill!! Coming good now though. You take care.

Thanks Jaci, I appreciate your kind words. xx

Dear Mandy - Tearing up is a normal part of human emotioin and should likely be a part of more talks such as yours.  This is a very real illness/disease/problem, call it what you may, and needs to be viewed as such.  The fact that the Dad came up to you after says it all.  Best wishes for your supporting all of us with this work.

Hi Mandy,

Well done on giving the talk, and raising awareness of BC support and Information, through BCNA.

 I think the emotional aspect of a BC journey hits us all at some stage.

Tears are ok. Let them flow. Hope the trip to see your daughter in Ballarat went well.

I attended Annette Loudons Seminar via internet link from the NESM Hospital here in Scottsdale in N. E Tasmania.

There is a Yoga DVD already:

" Yoga  for Women after Breast Cancer " available through :

ywcansw.com.au      

 I just brought it. Cost $22 approx.

I think Annette Loudon is going to make another one, especially for Arm Lymphoedema following BC.

 Kathy.
