@arpie I attend the advanced cancer support group and while it is open to men and women for all cancer types, I have only seen women attend and the last few sessions there have only been 6 or 7 women all bc except one who has lung cancer.
The yoga is well attended and also offered online too. I attend that online. Pilates is popular and they have a gym program too which I think is popular but requires a 8 wk commitment initially. I might do that next yr. The reflexology and reiki is very popular and I have been to a few of these. The reflexology and reiki sessions are individual and go for 45min and are like having a foot massage. It's fantastic. This sort of stuff should be offered at all hospitals for chronic health conditions.
The Royal Brisbane Womens Hospital in Brisbane RBWH (women in name only but it treats everyone ) is about to set up a special 150 bed cancer facility so that will be interesting to see what they offer there. The RBWH is a public hospital.
Offering holistic health care is definitely the way to go to support cancer patients. It's not all about surgery, radium and chemo
