Hi Ky
I had the tissue expanders for about twelve months before my exchange surgery. I found most exercises uncomfortable even swimming cause my expanders kinda wanted to float and they would slosh around like two children at the pool who just wanted to excape lol. I am now 4 years out and I have returned to normal exercise and the strenght has returned. have you tried the encore program which is designed for us BC girls and yoga is another good one. Your strength will return in time.
Many young women I know have the BRACA 1 gene, not sure what the difference is between the 1 and 2?
Hopefully many other young ones will see your post and give some advice. Good luck and feel free to ask away.
Much love Tanya xx
