Hi girls
I have been to my cancer support group this morning and we had a wonderful lady there from the Wesley Hospital in Brisbane. She is a volunteer and also and ex cancer patient from 27 yrs ago. she runs The Choices Program at the hospital. They have all sorts of free programs from Exercise and rehabilitation, pilates, Yoga, Tai Chi, and heaps more. All these programs are free. They have a calendar of what programs run when if you want to go to any of these , it is all designed to help cancer patients. And this lady who spoke to us this morning was also a Triple Negative Breast Cancer patient, or what she called it which sounded much better Receptor Free. And is looking great, 27 years on and she was diagnosed at the age of 32 with young children. So keep that in mind. She is another inspirational person who does volunteer counselling for breast cancer and gyno. patients.
