FRIDAYS from 9:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.

POST-POST BREAST CANCER GROUP FOR WOMEN

FROM SURVIVING TO THRIVING   

Follow-up care for the rest of your life.

Many women who have been through breast cancer come out of it profoundly altered. You looked mortality in the eye. You faced humiliating poking and prodding, biopsies, lumpectomies. You may have suffered the removal of a breast or both breasts and reconstructive surgery. You endured chemotherapy and/or radiation, exhaustion, baldness. It seemed like every part of your body was effected. You lost time from family, work, friends, hobbies, engaging in what made you feel alive and happy. You may wonder, what does it all mean? What is my life all about? Am I content with the status quo? I survived, now, how do I want to live?

From Surviving to Thriving is deep personal work. Join with other women who really "get" what you are going through; express your feelinigs without worrying about the impact on family and friends; improve communication with the important people in your life; deal with the challenges that your experience brings to relationships, trust and intimacy; share joys, sorrows, companionship and wisdom. Be accepted and heard.

Some examples of issues that may arise:

Wanting your "old" self or life back.
Fear over the return of cancer.
Emotional and physical scars.
Self image, body image, sexuality.
Old interactions or patterns that aren’t working.
How others are responding to the changes in you.
Inviting the new you out of the old box.
Your hopes, aspirations and goals. 

Scheduled for Wednesday evenings in El Cerrito
from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m.
