Excercising

Lou Lou
Offline

Hi.

I have recently been diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer. Before being diagnosed, I was massively into my fitness attending regular Bootcamp sessions with a local personal training company. Bootcamp sessions involve running, sit ups, press ups, lifting weights etc. 

Last year I signed up to a race which is in May which I really hope I can attend.

So my question is can I still attend Bootcamp sessions and compete in the race?  I haven't started treatment yet and unsure when I will do.  I'm meeting with my consultant next week.

Thanks for reading

    Phew Lou Lou - I am shattered just reading about it but also very envious as running is something I always regret not doing as I love being out in the countryside and think I would have loved it.  In my condition now, I just am content with long walks.

    If you are seeing your consultant, he would be the perfect person to ask.  I would guess you can still exercise sensibly but just not put too much of a strain on your body when it is trying to deal with treatments too.

    Hope everything goes well for you.  Keep us uptodate if you can x
