Hope you are doing well Raindrop. I've been there and I credit my bike and my cycling friends for helping me get through it. I hope you add an update soon, thinking about you and sending healing thoughts your way.

I started radiation AND hormone therapy last week. I have 36 radiation treatments and then I hope that's it! I plan on having a great Summer....lots of riding and then, this Fall, having the other breast removed so I don't have to face MRIs the rest of my life. I also opted not to have reconstruction. I've always been really small and I want to be totally streamlined.

My strength is great! I really want to bump up my upper body training, but my surgeon, doctor and the nurse navigator are all very much against too much too soon due to the threat of lymphoma. I've been back to lower body and core training since about 3 weeks out. I am lucky that I have full range of motion and no pain. I think that was because I went into this being in shape and also due (and this is just a guess) to my small size. It's not as though I had large breasts and so, the mastectomy scar is only about four inches long. My surgeon did an amazing job.

Wishing you well, Raindrop, and glad to hear how you are.
