Advocating for Exercise in Breast Cancer Groups

After my bilateral mastectomy and revonstruction & 1st session of AC chemo I was ecstatic to manage a swim, 2 hydro workouts and a cardio gym session and a light weight workout. My physio though advised to hold off the weights until 12 weeks to just ensure all was better healed. Unfortunately since that wonderful week I have been incapable of doing any of this since. Round 2 of AC sucked out all my energy. I barely left the house or my chair. Round 3 was a little better but had my infusaport inserted so avoided the pool and wasn't  quite up to the gym. Round 4....well I'm recovering quicker and have managed to get hold of a treadmill and plan to be getting on that on and off to improve my cardio again so I can return to the gym whilst I enter 12 weeks of taxol. Yes we are all different...but do prepared you may not feel good all the way through your chemo. I hope you do. I know I have had to keep reducing my expectations but have yet to give up. But sometimes you might just beed to rest...but that will be your choice. Best of luck. Kath x
