Thank you bcna team for organising such a worthwhile event. It was uplifting & inspiring to be in a room with so many other women and fellas, with metastatic disease. It was a pleasure to meet some of you. I’m sorry there wasn’t more time to meet more of you & share stories and ideas. Maybe the next conference could be over 2 or 3 days with a dinner? (I appreciate this is a huge ask for bcna staff :# )
My favorite session was the one about exercise as medicine - I’ve always been a firm believer so it was very interesting learning about research that is taking place at Edith Cowan uni. I plan to contact the exercise medicine research institute to see if it’s possible to have an exercise program designed for me long distance. My bones a riddled with Mets and my left pelvis keeps breaking The exercises I’ve been given by my local exercise physiologist are too strong for my bones so it would be great to discuss my current exercise program & my desire to get fit again with someone who understands what cancer does to bones. I have been active all my life and it is driving me crazy being able to do so little. I’m sure most of you feel the same.
I keep hoping someone will have a magic wand to wave over me and repair my sorry bones. Sadly .....
