Seeking stories about exercise 6+weeks after double mastectomy

Hi Jen

i am 8 weeks post single mastectomy.  I too was very fit before being diagnosed so found it difficult not to do anything. I started walking around 4 weeks & have been to the gym a couple of times & have recently joined an Encore program for 8 weeks which is gentle exercise plus pool based exercises. I have started chemo so was advised not to get in the pool. Swimming is very good exercise as apparently it reduces the risk of lymphodema. It sounds like you are recovering very well so just ease back into it slowly!
