Hi Leonie, have you enquired at the hospital where you were operated on, for exercise classes? Here in Sydney at the Sydney Adventist Hospital, the physio department run land and water based classes for breast surgery patients. I have attended 2 terms of these, and am eager to start again in a few weeks. Not only have the classes been designed to strengthen all the areas weakened by surgery, but all the ladies are breast cancer survivors. This makes it a great support group as well, and we usually have coffee after. I would be lost without these groups, and there are about 4 sessions per week for both types of classes. There is also Pilates which is run by the same physio, and I will attend those next term once my strenth returns. Love Chris xx
