Went on another retreat.
This one was so good. It was with Lifting Hearts. A nonprofit here in Utah. There were 20 bc survivors. Stage 0 -4. Such a positive loving environment.
It broke my heart to see so many in their 20-30's with young children. Out of 6 stage iv, 2 were in late 20's- early 30's. All theree were at different stage of acceptance, and treatment. Some, single, some ricovero, and married. The group was started bu 2 sisters, 1 with bc, their mom, also not a bc patient, bit I think her mother was, a cousin who was not a survivor, but she lost her sister to it.
They all have families, yet give so much of themselves to help others. It started as a support group that meets 1x a month. Then added 2 retreats a year, and the online support g group on facebook has grown to over 400.
It started in central Utah, and now opening monthly support group in Salt Lake, and there is a need for Northern Utah. Tells us how many women out there with breast cancer that have been doing it alone.
Hugs,
Carol
