@MelissaD Hi! There is a DVD called "Strengthen Your Recovery" - I received my DVD in a little pink back pack with the Berlei bra and other bits and pieces.

May I suggest you ring BCNA and ask about it if you haven't seen it. It will help you at home initially to get some confidence and movement back in the limbs.
Sorry to hear you are one of us and so young compared to me. Being anxious is an emotion we all go through at some stage. Deep breaths and hopefully some of the Pilates movements may help you in controlling breathing back into normal range. Yes we all have an heightened awareness of everything as hey this is scary. You learn terminology that you had no need for previously.
Need to find time for a good belly laugh!
Also have a look at the discussion group Creative Corner

There are some great things that others do to occupy their time and mind. @InkPetal - fantastic drawings and for the Chris O'Brien Lifehouse - you'll find details in the Creative Corner discussion group
Hope I have given you some research that will help get your mind and hopefully body in a better place ready to get through treatment and find some sort of new normal. Remember normal is always evolving!
Take care and hopefully you'll keep us posted to let us know how you are going. My favourite saying is "we are all in this together" - we will help you through! Hugs xx
