Great MBC Retreats

As a long timer with MBC, I've attended many MBC and BC conferences, in my quest to learn all I can about this lousy cancer, and sometime ago I heard about the wonderful retreats offered by Breast Cancer Recovery, an organization in Wisconsin. Several years ago I was able to attend more than one of their retreats, and found them great opportunities to talk with other women with MBC. They had good food, beautiful scenery, and being there always made me feel better!

I got a call today from their retreat organizer, asking me if I wanted to attend their retreat Oct. 10-Nov. 2. I can't but the woman I spoke with asked me to reach out to others about this. Their website is bcrecovery.org/events/Event....

You don't have to be a Wisconsin resident to attend. I attended so long ago that I'm not sure if these retreats have the same format as when I was there, and they did offer financial assistance for those who needed help with transportation costs. If you want to get away for three days of rest, good food, time with other metsters, give them a call! And if you do go, let us know about your experience!

To all who've responded to me.....don't wait to get on their waiting list for other MBC retreats. They do just one or two a year and they used to fill up fast!

It looked lovely but it was already full by the time I was checking. Now I can't see the cost - do you have any idea how much is typical for these retreats?

When I went on these retreats, they offered financial help to those who needed it. I don't remember the cost but I was able to pay it, so it was in a few hundred at most. They want to make it possible for anyone to come! Give them your info now and they will let you know about the next retreat and you'll have a good chance of being able to go!
