Cancer, a death, and moving house
Just after Cancer treatment finished, we lost a good friend of ours, who was fit, and 42 yo, and now the house we are renting is being sold and we have to shift.
Thanks to the support I have had during my first year in Launceston, with Cancer, I have been lucky to have made some great new friends.
Through the Northern Cancer Support Centre, I have relied on regular Counselling and advice, and go weekly to the "Coffee and Chat" group, which lead to a 6 week Pink Pilates class. The Pink Pilates Class has been fabulous, and we have all loved the activity and the stress relief it has given to us. Priceless.
Will look forward to the free Encore Aqua Classes soon.
My husband shocked me by having 2 Counselling session at the NCSC also, so miracles can happen.
About to start a Rehab Plan via my Physio for returning to work, at end of Oct.
Being shouted a trip to home to visit my parents. Also being shouted a trip home to visit husbands parents. Sept/Oct
Taking it all, ONE DAY AT A TIME! Oh, and we are coping well, thanks to the support and new friendships, of strangers......
Love Bel

Yes, we were fortunate to have Marita, Daina and also Maxine attend our Tasmanian State Conference so Bel met up with lots and learnt how we all support each other by connecting and then growing in our own way! (Is this copyright BCNA haha!?)
Our Ongoing Journey takes us through many adventures, Leonis, as you and I know, and I hope Bel will be able to attend a BCNA Forum or two in the future.
Hey, Bel, it is a GLORIOUS morning today, looks like Spring has come at last eh? All take special care, Mandy XX
Hi Bel, I didn't see you at the Summit in Sydney. I wasn't at my best though so did "lay low". I am so sorry that I missed you or are you talking about the conference that Mandy held in Launceston?? XLeonie
Your words over the last 9 months, plus getting to meet you at the seminar was a real boost. It means a lot when you are "on your own". Far from it, as when you reach out to strangers involved with Cancer, youre very much in a very big club. After all, there is always some-one worse off hey!
xx Back at ya!

- They say things happen for a reason ,whether to slow as down or just to take a look at our selfs and our life. Well whatever it has dealt you , you seem to have come out stronger , I've regularly read your blogs and smiled each time you climbed the mountain. New changes for you may be a positive. Love and hugs adeanxx
My best wishes to you in finding another home. As the girls say - a new beginning (home and work). Have loads of fun with your family. they are priceless. XLeonie
What a hell of a tough year you have had,I'm glad you've got good supports and that you'll have a trip to see your families soon.Although moving house is stressful,it can also seem like a new start- leaving sad memories behind you. It felt like that for me anyway.I hope your next home is lovely and full of new happy times ahead. love,Tonya xx
Bel,
I am so glad you are making the most of what is available in Launceston, and your husband too. What a man!! Give him an extra hug eh?
I hope you find a home that will reflect a new beginning for you and return to work, and the new normal continues on.
Sympathy to you about the loss of your friend, it makes the grey days greyer but the sun will shine again and you have great memories, I am sure.
Take special care!
