In 2011, when Jocelyne Busslinger learned she has breast cancer, one of the first things she thought of was \u2013 \u2018I can join a Survivor Dragon Boat team.\u2019<\/p>\n
With the unfaltering family support of her husband Anselm, daughter Marjolen, son-in-law Shawn, son Eric, and later grandsons Declan & Lochlan, Jocelyne made it through cancer treatment and did just that \u2013 she joined Sistership Dragon Boat Team and found it possible to face an uncertain future.<\/p>\n
“Post surgery and treatment my mind shifted to recovery. I hadn\u2019t done much paddling at all, but somewhere along the way I heard that breast cancer survivors did dragon boating. I guess this was my way of putting a positive spin on life-altering news.<\/p>\n
I joined Sistership in 2012 and I immediately felt such a kinship. The peer support and connection we have is real. I have made so many wonderful friends through paddling.<\/p>\n
Our Sistership team has spent hundreds of hours strength training at the YMCA, and undertaking water practices in our Sistership Dragon Boat on the Glenmore Reservoir. Sistership has raced in dragon boat festivals across Canada and internationally. Highlights were in 2014 in Sarasota and 2018 in Florence, Italy with 2,000 breast cancer Survivors from across the world.<\/p>\n
In 2018, dragon boating led me to Outrigger canoeing \u2013 a slightly different version where you paddle on both sides of the canoe. I learned outrigging in order to take part in a cancer fundraiser called \u2018Paddle for Life\u2019 in Maui, and later, \u2018Paddle Palooza,\u2019 a 48 km journey in July of 2022 on Montana\u2019s Flathead Lake.<\/p>\n
In 2021, an illness presented a new challenge, whereby I had to make a decision to focus on outrigger paddling. After a decade, I became a non-paddling member of Sistership. Still, my ties to Sistership are as strong as ever. I can never give up these lifetime bonds. I consider myself a lifelong advocate and volunteer.<\/p>\n
Before cancer, it never would have occurred to me to try dragon boating \u2013 it was a cancer diagnosis that propelled me to find paddling as a coping mechanism. I will be forever grateful for that!\u201d<\/p>\n
Today, at 70 years young, Jocelyne is living proof that there is life after cancer. In fact, she is not just living, but living well \u2013 a life full of love, joy, and grand adventures. Remarkably, cancer didn\u2019t derail her life, instead it steered her toward the water where she has reaped countless health benefits and regained strength, confidence and trust in her body. Perhaps equally important Jocelyne discovered an untapped passion, and experienced the profoundly rewarding joy of finding her \u2018tribe.\u2019<\/p>\n
Jocelyne joined Wellspring back in 2011 while awaiting radiation treatment for breast cancer. Ironically, prior to her diagnosis, she had watched Wellspring\u2019s Carma House being built near her workplace along the bank of the Bow River, and was curious about what the building would house.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was working as a physiotherapist at Bow View Manor. Every day I would drive by this construction site and I wondered \u2018what is this building?\u2019 Then, a few years later, I came to know it well. I joined Wellspring and would often come there after my radiation treatments to compose myself before going back to work,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
In her early years at Wellspring, Jocelyne mainly enjoyed Restorative Yoga and the music programs, discovering Ukulele, and becoming an enthusiastic member of the Campfire Classics group \u2013 which she still belongs to today. Jocelyne fondly recalls an early Wellspring event where she participated in a Flash Mob dance at Banker\u2019s Hall \u2013 a promotion for a Wellspring\u2019s awareness event called \u2018Toupee for A Day.\u2019<\/p>\n
\u201cAlthough I appreciated the Wellspring support back then, I was so busy with Sistership, it didn\u2019t really leave much time to get into all the other offerings,\u201d she said. She and her husband did join the hiking program and Jocelyne says she appreciated the caregiver support, as her husband was welcomed with open arms to hike with his Wellspring buddies while she was away at festivals.<\/p>\n
Ironically, Jocelyne didn\u2019t really tap into the broader selection of Wellspring programs until November of 2021 (a decade after joining Wellspring), when she was diagnosed with Acute Transverse Myelitis \u2013 an inflammation of your myelin in the spine.<\/p>\n
\u201cI lost all sensation below mid-spine. As a physiotherapist I knew what was happening and this is not a diagnosis you want to hear,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
After eight days in hospital, she was released with a sparse regimen of exercises, and a looming fear that this serious condition would put an end to her paddling. With an uncertain prognosis, she expected a year-long recovery at best.<\/p>\n
On January 1, 2022, Jocelyne was busy filling her calendar with Wellspring programs – determined to be proactive in her recovery. \u201cI registered for Tai Chi- Qi Gong, Functional Yoga, Meditation, Visualization and Mindfulness \u2013 all of these programs were only available on Zoom at that time and I was there for it,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Within months, Jocelyne had regained use of her full body and was nearly herself again. \u201cI sincerely believe it is thanks to these Wellspring programs that I have fully recovered. This was my path to paddle again,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
To give back, Jocelyne was recently a volunteer paddler with the Wellspring Young Adults group, who were invited on an outing to learn to Dragon Boat on the Glenmore Reservoir on a sunny afternoon.<\/p>\n
\u201cI really hope some of them pick up the passion of \u2018paddling for life!\u2019 Better still, I hope they find their own passion and pursue it!\u201d she said. \u201cThere really is life after cancer.\u201d<\/p>\n
Twenty-five years ago, Dr. Don McKenzie started the Dragon Boat movement for breast cancer survivors. At Paddle Palooza he spoke about the research of paddling in a group of peers and how the camaraderie and mental well-being surpasses the physical benefits following a cancer diagnosis, while decreasing the risk of recurrence. He speaks of life after cancer, and Wellspring also exemplifies this philosophy in so many ways.\u201d<\/em> – Jocelyne Busslinger<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
