I couldn't agree more.
I remember going on a "Casting for Recovery" fly fishing weekend retreat 6 months after finishing treatment, which I thoroughly enjoyed, and made a coyple of lifelong friends at, but all weekend, and ever since, I've felt it was so wrong that this was just aimed at women who had had breast cancer. Everyone who has had any form of cancer needs and deserves that level of support.
It's also one of the reasons I've gone down the route of lymphoedema support, rather than getting involved in any of the local bc supports.
What can we do to help, please??
