Cancer Exercise Blog

When I was diagnosed with cancer, I wanted to find someone like me

Someone I could relate to, who’d been through a similar cancer and exercise journey. I was (relatively) young, sporty, a mum - and suddenly I had cancer. Everything I read seemed to be for people much older or more sedentary than me. So this blog aims to be what I needed to read. I hope you enjoy it. I hope you find it useful. I hope it gives you hope!

Recovering from a bilateral mastectomy

My priority after surgery was to get moving again. I wanted to be able to lift and cuddle my kids.

Why I chose aesthetic flat closure (AFC)

Bye bye boobies ! I said goodbye to both my breasts in February 2022.

Finding a lump

I found the lump in my left breast myself, while in the shower. And, honestly, I just ignored it for a bit.
