Hi All
Just had to say have just finished the BCC Moving Forward Course, if you have the oppurtunity to go on one please do it, I found the whole experience informative, positive and uplifting. For me it was the first time apart from the usual "hello,how are you" at clinics, that I had spoken at length to other ladies with Breast Cancer.
Each week we had different topics to discuss, all sorts of professionals who came in and offered advice dieticians,therapists and Macmillan, one week we had a Breast Surgeon who was absolutely brilliant, we were able to ask him things in a more relaxed atmosphere and he answered our questions honestly and truthfully, we all agreed that this was the best session.
There was lots of laughter, anger at times and a few tears, but most of all it was a group of women, including the volunteers who had all gone through the same life changing experience, to have another person say "I know, I get it" and know they really did was emotional in a good way.
I cannot thank BCC enough for running these sessions.
Hugs and best Wishes
