Having been diagnosed with Breast Cancer in Dec, which was and still is a shock, prior to the diagnosis I have always been fit and active, walking my dogs 3 miles every day, box fit 3 times a week and 3 weight training sessions, but since the diagnosis and having a PICC line I’m no longer doing box fit or weights, both of which weren’t just about the fitness they also helped me to keep mentally fit too.
A few years ago I suffered with stress/anxiety brought on by 2 deaths in the family in close succession which required a period of medication, however, I found fitness to be my release and no longer needing medication as a result.
I’m heading towards EC No 4 and whilst I feel awful for the first week, week 2&3 I’m good so my question is really to ask if anyone else has continued to do weights during treatment.
There just seems to be so much that you can’t do, my mental health is suffering and I just need a release, this is all hard enough as it is.
Hi folks 
hope you don’t mind me joining this chat. I’m Carolyn- I wrote the book that klf kindly recommended (thank you 
). I must be cautious not to self-promote as that’s not the done thing on forum chats, but if they’d be helpful, I made three little films during my recovery from mastectomy that show how I got back into weight training. I have a YouTube channel that has other films on how to start exercising during and after treatment. Hope you find them useful.
