So powerful!! “I’d rather honor what I went through than pretend that it didn’t happen.” That’s the real wisdom I need to hear today. Continued Family Blessings!💛

I have the BRCA 2 gene the gynecologist said she recommended the ovaries be removed and it would be my choice if I want to remove the uterus. Did you have that choice ? Just wondering because I don’t know what to do? 🙏🏼

Hi Marina! Thank you for your timely advice. I just finished my chemo a couple of weeks ago and talked surgery plans with my breast and plastic surgeons. I'm going to have my surgery done any day next week. And yes I am going with the flow of things each day yet still remembering what I went through the past months doing chemo.

You have adorable kids, good skin and hair❣You would never know what you went through, if you didn't share your story. I to have Eczema, it seems like it started when I got cancer. It does seem to act up when I'm in the sun.

Thank you so much for this, I have 8 more weeks of taxol and then on to radiation. Did you exercise during treatment? I use to be very active but of course have not been since surgery and my first round of chemo. I am feeling better and walk and do yoga but wondered your thoughts
@MarinaBlackford2 жыл бұрын
I did exercise some during chemo. I think walking and yoga are great! Beyond that it’s what your body is used to and up for. Your energy will not be as good so I don’t recommend pushing it during chemo. Your bodies job is to heal during this time. Focus on that and the exercise can increase after you’re done. ❤️

I start chemo 4/21..it's been 6 weeks since my mastectomy and I'm losing muscle mass since I can't really exercise, and yesterday my oncologist tells me a lot of women with breast cancer gain weight during chemo because of steroids and hormone changes so now I'm super stressed about losing my fitness. Seeing that you ran the Boston Marathon makes me feel a little better. Did you have any significant loss of fitness or weight gain ?
@MarinaBlackford2 жыл бұрын
Hi! I’ve been where you are. I’m still kind of there to be honest. Yes, chemo takes a toll on everything and I gained a pound every week my first time with chemo due to the steroids. I was 15 pounds heavier at the end. It was surprising. I just kept making small steps forward like longer walks, jogs then runs. Some yoga then added in weights slowly. Fatigue sets in faster than it used to but it does get better. I’d recommend setting small goals so you feel the progress you’re making. Sending strength to you!
