Exercise after mastectomy

Hi all, 

I am almost 7 months after SMX. I have been diligent with rehab exercises, and I approached exercise very gently. After 6 months I was able to return to the rock-climbing level I was once (21 grade at the gym). and I can also run for 5 km (although not at a previous pace), and lift weights. with perseverance and discipline, we can get back to our routines. 

I do have another surgery coming up (tissue expander expand), as I decided not to have an implant.

So I will likely start from 0 again, and again baby steps...but I least I know that the rehab journey works. 

Good vibes to everyone!
