Benefits of Partnering with Casting for Recovery

CfR internationally has 20 years of experience in developing and supporting one of the original “Quality of Life” programs for women recovering from breast cancer. The tested and replicable program model has been extremely successful and inspired international efforts in Canada, UK, Ireland, New Zealand and now in the ACT.

In the USA it was found that CfR participants experienced a statistically significant reduction in anxiety and other distress symptoms associated with recovery from breast cancer.

CfR is Unique

CfR provides an opportunity for women whose lives have been profoundly affected by breast cancer to gather in a natural setting to address quality of life and recovery issues with other women in similar circumstances. CfR accepts any woman who has received a breast cancer diagnosis in her lifetime and has had her treatment in the ACT - regardless of age or stage of recovery. Participants require a medical clearance. CfR facilitates the support of women from all years of recovery, which they report as being unique and helpful.

The Need

Every year over 14,500 women are diagnosed with breast cancer in Australia and there are over 150,000 women who have a history of breast cancer. This means one in eight women in Australia will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. Every day one woman in the ACT is diagnosed with breast cancer.

What Casting for Recovery USA Participants Say

“The retreat made a huge positive impact on my life. I am a two time breast cancer survivor. I was first diagnosed at age 35. I have survived the cancer but continued to struggle with early menopause, being unable to have children, weight gain and depression. These issues were never addressed. It wasn't until I attended the retreat that I have started to get my life back.”

— Mary, 2014 NM retreat participant

“A CfR retreat, it's an amazing experience. You learn that you're not the only one dealing with this disease, but you learn it in a beautiful, peaceful setting, surrounded by wonderful, strong women. The best part is that you get the chance to experience a new skill that provides a challenge and hope to move forward. I've thought numerous times about standing in that stream with my river guide trying to cast my line to catch the elusive fish, and the sheer awesomeness of it all. And that gives me hope.”

— Debbie, 2014 Georgia retreat participant
