Radiotherapy and exercise
Hello everyone - After a DCIS diagnosis and lumpectomy with a re-excision I now have clear margins and, although I could have refused radiotherapy, I have opted in as it is still standard treatment...
Thank youTri - the yoga has been great after the lumpectomy - it’s a staged program and i just find it really grounding. I started doing yoga at home during lockdown and I do really enjoy it. (Though I’ve very inflexible.) I’m in awe ofSelkie swimming 3.5 kilometres a day - fabulous!
I think I’ll just have to see where it all lands, consult and take it gently. It’s lovely having this network for advice and reassurance. Thank you both -Tri &Selkie
HiCattyB you’re 💯 right about feeling grounded, I was surprised to discover that aspect of yoga.
I didn’t realise I had a bit of cording after my lumpectomy surgery and radiation therapy, but once I started yoga it made its presence felt so my physiotherapist helped me regain movement with stretching. That was helpful to discover because my reach was more “normal” once I could start swimming again.
Selkie 3.5 km a day! I agree withCattyB that’s inspiring (and it explains the “selkie” 🦭good choice!!)
