im one week post op from a wide local ocision and removal of 6 lymph nodes one of which contained cancer cells. It was a grade 2 malignant invasive ductal carcinoma 2.5 cm. not sure what the type is ...
You are one step further than me, I don't have the op for another two weeks and that's a bit that terrifies me. I loathe hospitals and am otherwise healthy like you.
For the rest of the journey I am thinking about doing some medical Tai Chi. Its slow exercises along with good breathing. Dr Paul Lam has dvds. It is supposed to strengthen your muscles, aid with balance, and help your breathing and when the body is strong it follows that the mind will also strengthen.
God knows I need something to take my mind off this bc and a totally new interest which doesn't involve extended walks and running (won't have the energy) might just be a good idea.
Good luck with the rest of your journey.
