I got 4 days in this week. It’s been a long time since I did more than 2 days a week. I’m still getting to know this body. My mastectomy completely changed my body in ways I never expected. Years later, I still feel absolute exhaustion at times. I believed after chemo it would go away. But it’s still here. It’s not as bad as it was but my body definitely has a stop switch now. When it says stop, I stop.
These days I listen to my body. One of the best things I took away from cancer.
Lymphatic Self-Massage After Mastectomy: Small Steps Matter!
After a mastectomy, especially when lymph nodes have been removed, supporting your lymphatic system is an important part of caring for your body.
✨ Why gentle lymphatic self-massage matters:
• Encourages lymph fluid movement
• May help manage swelling and feelings of heaviness
• Helps you become more aware of changes in your body
• Empowers you to take an active role in your recovery
Pairing gentle lymphatic self-massage with appropriate range-of-motion exercises can be a valuable part of your recovery routine.
💗 Knowledge is empowerment! Ask your healthcare team or a certified lymphedema therapist to teach you the proper technique for your individual needs. Self-massage isn’t right for every situation and does not guarantee prevention of lymphedema.
At Warrior Workouts, I believe small, consistent steps can help women reconnect with their bodies and feel empowered throughout their breast cancer journey. You are not alone! 💕

This morning my body needed movement so I took a 6:30 am barre class. My mind needed feeding as well, so I took another route to work. One that I knew would allow me to drive along the coast. Ahhhhh. Just looking at Mount Sinai harbor brought on a sense of peace and gratefulness. Feeling blessed that I live on this beautiful island.

Exercise plays a crucial role in reducing breast cancer risk and improving survival rates.
Risk Reduction — Physically active women have a significantly lower risk of developing breast cancer compared to inactive women.
Post-Diagnosis Benefits — Exercise after a breast cancer diagnosis is linked to lower mortality rates.
Weight Management — Maintaining a healthy weight through exercise can reduce breast cancer risk, especially in postmenopausal women.
Survival Improvement — Engaging in at least 2.5 hours, 150 minutes, of exercise weekly is associated with better survival rates and lower recurrence risk. Susan G. Koman Foundation

Sometimes I need to slow down and spend some time with my pups. This evening seems like a good time to do that. A little

💕 Awareness isn’t fear. It’s empowerment.
Recently, I made the decision to undergo a preventative total hysterectomy as another step in being proactive about my health.
A cancer diagnosis can open our eyes to other health risks and the importance of understanding our personal and family history, genetic testing when appropriate, and the screenings or preventative measures that may be right for us.
Not every woman with breast cancer needs a hysterectomy, and the right decisions depend on individual risk factors, genetics, and treatment history.
The message is simple: don’t live in fear, but don’t ignore the things you need to know. Ask questions, advocate for yourself, and have honest conversations with your medical team.
💕 Knowledge is power. Being proactive is an act of self-love. And no woman should have to navigate this journey alone.
