After my surgery, I did not realize I could regain my muscle mass: I thought I would always be weak - no doc encouraged otherwise. Only 6 years later, did I engage the help of a physical therapist. My advice is to begin exercising the day you return home!

Hello @jodiforan,

I'm so sorry that you had to wait so long before you got back your strength. Who was it who advised you to seek physical therapy?

I am walking 2.5 miles almost every day which does exhaust me physically. I am also seeing a physical therapist to help me strengthen myself. It was my doctor’s recommendation. I want to rebuild my muscles but I need to be realistic. It only been 4 months since my surgery and then 33 radiation treatments With chemo pills. I am still taking a stronger dose of chemo pills each month. Be patient with yourself!
