Step by step
To be honest I was never really that fit before I got bc. I did try from time to time but I never really saw myself as an athletic type of person. But during treatment I really noticed that exercise ...

Oh, I'm so sorry that you will miss your holiday! That makes it just that bit harder but I hope you can do it at another time.
After your axillary surgery they should have a physio show you some exercises to do to get your arm movement back. The good thing is you can do them sitting down. Do them gently but consistently and they really do help.
It can be pretty hard to get moving after surgery but even just short gentle walks (even around the house) all count and are surprisingly helpful. I found it encouraging to write everything down that I did so I could see myself improving and trying.
At the end of treatment I saw a physio for 10 sessions (if you see your GP you can have 5 sessions subsidized by Medicare I think). She designed a short program of strengthening exercises which were matched to my needs and abilities. Being consistent with these really got me on the road to recovery! Wishing you all the best with your surgery and any further treatment. Deanne xxx
