Rock climbing, strength training and running after lumpectomy
Hi everyone. I'm an active 41 yo (My favourite activities are climbing, sailing and running). I had a lumpectomy 3 weeks ago. The size of the tissue removed was 6x4 cm. I'm feeling great with the recovery, and I will most likely start radiotherapy soon. I was wondering how was your experience with recovery and getting back to exercise. I'm like rock climbing, and I am thinking to take another 3 weeks off training, but I also have been reading that I could exercise the lower part of my body. I have been walking almost daily. How has everyones experience has been with lumpectomy and returning to fitness?
AFL Grand Final Just to Forget About Life for Awhile
During the course of treatment over the last two years sport has been one of my happy spots to forget about life for awhile and spending it with my partner and son on the lounge or at the field. AFL has been a life changer for my son who was able to manage his mental health while I have been sick, no about of therapy would of compared. His footy mates and coaches embraced how he was feeling. I don't usually do this and I'm not sure this is the platform but I would love to give something back to him. We are Brisbane based and if by chance there were any spare tickets to the Melbourne AFL GF would be a life memory. Short notice I know but one thing I have learnt is if you don't try you don't know. Little did we know at the Pink Lady Day at the MCG that the Brisbane Lions were going to play in the Grand Final.
