Thanks @Romla. I emailed YWCA months ago about joining in that hydrotherapy group as swimming is totally my thing. I never even got a reply from them so I assumed the program wasnt running anymore. Will have to follow that up. Louise, The breast nurse at Sunshine Coast was fabulous when I was there, I think I will contact her tomorrow and try to reconnect with her. She will know about ti. Ironically I never met her but we had a few phone conversations. Yes you are definitely right I havent had an anchor. As for other ladies, I havent even told my best friends about what Ive been through. I have talked to 2 ladies in my area that I knew had bc. One was kind but didnt want to talk about bc she was trying to move on from it I guess. The other was kind but I dont know her that well. Ive seen her since and she didnt ask how Im going. I guess everyone has to deal with it their own way. I got invited to Look Good Feel Better but I didnt go as I still look exactly the same as before bc until I take off my top and I dont have issues with my looks and didnt want to take the spot from someone that needed it more. Sorry but I am a bit freaked out and scared of facing the reality of the more serious stages of bc in support groups. There is a stand up paddle board group for bc ladies in my area and I intend to start going to that as soon as the water warms up. I know Im going to fall in as Ive never tried it. I only had exchange surgery in July so Im still healing, muscle is just feeling good just this last week or so so Ill be right in time for summer. I have a heavy 625 cc silicon implant so Im giving it extra time to heal. I have a wonderful partner so I do have support. Thanks for your understanding.
