Getting rid of those bad cells…

… means to lay on that radiation table every day! The good news is, after now half of all radiations, my skin is holding up nicely, – so far.
And since my skin is still fine, I’m back at the fitness studio for walking and weight lifting. Little weight, many repeats. This seems to work for my lymphedema as well, the muscle work pushes the protein and it reduces the great tention in the tissue and under the skin. It’s not gone, but doesn’t get worse either. Weight lifting also strengthens both arms, shoulders and upper body muscles, also stretches the under-arm tendon on the left side, which was very much impacted by the two surgeries.
And the best is, it leaves me with the great feeling I’ve accomplished something important!
Can’t wait to be allowed to go in the pool for swimming.
Glad to hear you are able to work out with the weights – movement is so good for your brain and your spirit and, of course, your arms and muscles too. Having to go every day to receive the treatments must feel like your job. Ugh. But your strength radiates through your words. I can feel your healing!
