    Hello,everyone! My name is Debbie Ciak, 75, and I live in Greensburg with husband Jack (55 years, but 35 years in CT!) and have participated in HF many times, but always learn something new from the speakers and the HF participants, so very glad to be here again. Breast cancer diagnosis in January, 2023 with mastectomy and radiation, as also in a lymph node, so lymphedema, too. Drug pneumonitis and ILD from 2 months on Verzenio.
    I also participate in SurvivingBreastCancer.org and they are starting a new program on 9/21, “Lymph Flow Yoga” on Mondays from 1-2pm, which some may be interested in (not just for breast cancer either). I will share the introductory recording from yesterday (9/14) when it becomes available, as it was really great.
    We are all in this together!

    Hi everyone: My name is Debbie C from Greensburg where there are no support programs for cancer patients. So, I am very glad to be able to return to Happy Feet (4th or 5th???), as it is a motivating, positive learning experience for which I am most grateful, thanks to Jen’s extraordinary program development and facilitation!!! Glad to have the support of so many on this journey we are all on. I am 2.5 years post mastectomy; radiation; hormone therapy; Verzenio targeted therapy that caused permanent lung damage; and, now heart issues that I am dealing with. The exercise component is so very important for my physical and emotional health and would never have done any of it, if it were not for finding Cancer Bridges and the Happy Feet program! Look forward to meeting the many new members of the program. Always something new to learn. Thanks, Jen!
