Couples, Communication and Cancer

Hi Everyone,
Couples, Communication, Cancer.
Each of these is difficult enough on their own, but put them all together and you can add a new word, CHALLENGING!!
I know it's a common theme here, it is just so vital to be able to communicate with each other and with others to try and minimize (because I'm not sure that you can eliminate it all together) that feeling of "I'm going CRAZY!
I am aware that there is a 'couples retreat' being held in Perth in November by the Cancer Council.
Has anyone else been to one previously? If so, did you find it helpful?

Thanks Wilmo34,
My husband and I are attending it and I am looking forward to the opportunity to meet others in our situation and learn how we can 'cope' with things better together.
Will let you know what I think!
Best wishes,
Mrs Elton

Do they have anything like that here in Melbourne? I might investigate because I would welcome it. Although my husband and I communicate, sometimes I feel I'm not expressing what I need to well enough for him to understand. Very frustrating.
Hi there Mrs Elton
I am in perth and was thinking of going except finding someone to have the minion is a bit hard.
but i have other cancer friends that have gone to those retreats and they all say good things.
