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?
Rugby Union
Not sure how many rugby lovers there are out there - but I do have a passion for Union. Potentially unusual for a girl but there you go. This weekend sees the Wallabies playing France at the formidable Stade de France - should be a very interesting contest, especially in the scrum! Now - what does this have to do with breast cancer?? Well I think if you have a passion for something - follow it as it keeps your mind occupied and gives you a huge diversion. Nothing quite like yelling at the TV if your team is having a 'blonde moment'.
