Everything old is new again - unfortunately.
Surgery on the 12th December - double mastectomy. Felt like my woman-hood had been taken away. So many tears in the two before, more after surgery. Could not look at myself in the mirror for 3 days.

Hi Maxi,
There is a free exercise and water class available to all breast cancer patients in NSW, and possibly elsewhere. It is called the ENCORE program and consists of 8 classes. If you google Encore you will probably find it. Someone else on this site might also be able to help. I never took advantage of this program, as I was well taken care of, but I don't think there is a time limit on this. The ENCORE program moves around to different areas to pick up people who need this help. This is run by YMCA, so try and contact them to see if they have something coming to your area, or if they can recommend anything.
Good luck, and I hope you find the support you need. We are good for listening and helping where possible, so maybe put out a question for other ladies who are in your area who might be able to point you in the right direction.
