Hi Amanda - thank you so much for your lovely words of support. Yes I've been reading about the benefits of exercise in recovery as well. There has been a fair bit of research into it in the US. It has certainly helped me and hopefully I can help others.
The Think Pink centre is at 390 St Kilda Road in the City, it's called The Living Centre. The phone number is 98202888. They have a lot of services there that are really helpful. There is a breast care nurse at the centre every day and they also have massage therapists. It has only been open since last year. I hope you can get to it.
It's great that you are doing Pilates. It will really help you. Apart from all the side affects from treatment one of the other things we have to deal with is the problems caused by surgery and inactivity. I found that I had lost so much muscle strength from a year and a half of not being able to do much. I am happy to help you find a trainer when you are ready. I do travel to people so if you want me to help you let me know.
I bet you're looking forward to July and the end of your treatment. I hope it all goes well. Keep in touch.
Best wishes,
Caren xx
