Hi @Brenda5 I received a kayak for Xmas last year. We used it once. Then I was diagnosed with DCIS on 6th January last year. I had a frantic almost 3 month wait for surgery, when I just couldnt focus on anything, then the mastectomy and then the recon operation in July.
My new boob felt very strange, my arm was sore and I had lost quite a bit of movement. Lap swimming is my sport. I tried in October and could not swim, my arm was too stiff. Last week I had another go at swimming and lo and behold, I was able to complete 500 metres, slowly but surely. I think it is time I had another go in my still brand new kayak, so thank you Brenda and other ladies for the inspiration.
