I just returned from a 3-day retreat for women who have or have had cancer. It was held at the 320 Guest Ranch up Gallatin Canyon. 70 women from Montana, Massachussetts, Michigan & North Carolina attended (I may have missed a few states). The weekend was made up of different activities to help us cope with our illness. The focus was on learning how to write about our experiences. It was really the first time I had ever written down my thoughts and feelings, and it was very emotional, especially reading them out loud to the group. Some of the stories were so heart-wrenching. We also had support groups, plus time to relax with yoga, walks, etc. While it was a very difficult time for me, I feel better for having gone. I met so many wonderful, strong women. I hope to go again next year.
