Sue, I am so sad to hear you are going through this again but happy to read of the good news along with the bad. It�s seems that it was picked up early which makes me worry about my quick 5 minute 3 year check on Friday!
Not having had your treatment I cannot offer any help but I have gone to a retreat. It was not specifically aimed at cancer sufferers/survivors but I would say if you get some benefit from it why not.
I am a sceptic by nature but have twice since finishing treatment gone to a retreat and would like to go at least for a week once a year.
While expensive I have no expectations other than a few days away from my normal life with a change of scenery and maybe recharging the batteries.
Enjoy and take part in everything from motivational talks, meditation, yoga, pampering etc.
Everyone is there for a reason, be it issues with health, bereavement, relationship issues�..
Best of luck and hoping you win the fight.
Gabriele
