Dear Miranda:

The "Classical Stretch" show is aired only on Saturdays and Sundays by one of my local PBS stations, but I am a faithful viewer on those two days. Also, I have taped a lot of our shows and do them in the evening after work, both to stretch and to relax.
I just ordered your 1 hour workout and your breast cancer workout. I am so excited to see you have a video available for women working through their breast cancer. I have had breast cancer twice. I was first diagnosed when I was 36 years old and was treated with very aggressive chemotherapy and radiation. The recurrence came 4 years later, in 2000. I then had a mastectomy and reconstructive surgery, but had numerous problems due to the radiated skin tissue that would not heal.

After a total of approximately 15 surgeries to remove dead tissue (5 immediately after the mastectomy and 10 after a year of reconstructive time and tissue-building), the reconstruction was deemed a failure. My surgeon ended up taking out the implant, sewing me up, and we both prayed I would eventually heal since I had had so much skin removed during all the surgeries. Needless to say, I had almost no movement in my right arm and my shoulder was completely frozen. I am glad to say that one year later, thanks in great part to your program, I have 100% of my motion back, and almost 100% of my rotation. I honestly believe your program and swimming made the greatest impact on my recovery and feeling like a survivor, not a victim. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Best regards,

Catherine M. Curcuruto
