Dear All, I am just recovering from a mastectomy that was done on Friday. I have been told my results will be back in three weeks’ time, so I will know than if I need chemo or radiotherapy. I would rather be prepared before hand for this, is there anything I should be doing in the mean time to prepare physically for either of these treatments. Thank you so much for any feedback, sending lots of love and healing hugs xxx
I didn't do anything different to normal in the lead up to chemotherapy. I normally go for an hours walk most days, so continued with this before and during chemo, and I try and eat a balanced diet.
If you do have chemo you'll be told what foods to avoid as well as given advice about not having take aways, etc. During chemo I basically behaved in the same way as I did during Covid, wearing a mask if out in public, avoiding crowded places, etc.
Ahead of radiotherapy you'll probably be advised to moisturise on a daily basis but again, I just continued as normal re exercise and eating.
Wishing you all the best

Hi, my oncologist told me that people who walk each day tend to cope well with chemo, so that's something to consider.
i blogged throughout my treatment and this one might help, it's things I wish I'd known before chemo. Best wishes
