"Breast cancer survivors are the most kind and generous women I have ever worked with. They are always looking for opportunities to reach out and help their fellow “sisters” to guide them through the cancer experience. This class is all about sharing, caring, learning and having fun. It is a wonderful way for women with breast cancer to network with other women sharing a similar experience. For a very reasonable fee, the members have access to the #1 rated aquatics program in the United States, a warm water therapy pool, certified instructors and are able to utilize all other components of the Wellness Center except for the weight room. It is a phenomenal opportunity. I look forward to the sessions, it’s an enriching experience." Jan Viereck - Group Facilitator "This program is one of the best things anyone could do for us. It is so relaxing and I look forward to it. I enjoy spending time with these women who have become friends. I wake up with less aches and pains after doing the therapy because I feel all of my muscles get a good workout. It is a fun program." - Roxi "I am so thankful that Sanford Wellness Center offers me the opportunity to attend a warm water therapy class. Not only does it help me in treating my lymphedema due to breast cancer, but it also gives me the ability to meet other women who have experienced breast cancer. We have formed great friendships and I look forward to our Bosom Buddy swim class each week." - RB "I really enjoy our Bosom Buddy class. Everyone in the class has a different experience. Some women have had a lumpectomy, some a mastectomy, some have had reconstruction and some have chosen not to have reconstruction. The common bond is that we are all breast cancer survivors and share many similar feelings and concerns. I look forward to our class and miss it if I am not able to attend." - JG "I not only have breast cancer but also have arthritis. I find that the warm water therapy helps relive the discomfort in my joints. My knees feel so much better after a session. I love the fellowship and the friendliness of the group. We are all different ages and sizes and it makes for a nice mix and a lot of fun. We laugh a lot!" - Lois |
