Hi Simsonic wishing you all the best with your upcoming treatment.
I was diagnosed last December and have finished surgery for a single breast reconstruction (no chemo or radiation). After the surgery I was pleased to find my hospital (Cabrini) run an early stage breast cancer rehab program. There were supervised gym sessions followed by recovery information sessions. I found the social connections I made were a great side benefit, and some of our group had coffee catch ups after the sessions and gained support from sharing experiences – like on this site.
I've heard that some other hospitals in Melbourne also offer similar rehab programs, and I don't believe you need to have surgery at the particular hospital to participate – although there was a charge for the sessions which my extras health insurance covered.
If you have any questions, let me know, :)
Hello and thankyou so much for the info. I will be definitely asking about the rehab.
