Evening
I haven’t posted for years! But hoping someone might give me some advice...
Unfortunately I was diagnosed with Breast cancer back in October and currently mid way through chemotherapy. 3 more to go. Total shock to me as I am only 34 years old and from that moment I found out, my life has been on hold.
It’s a hard slog and most days I struggle to even get out of bed.
Once my chemo is done then I will be in for a double mastectomy with reconstruction or DIEP.
I wondering if anyone had been through this and got back to the standard they were at before their world was turned upside down. Also how soon after surgery did it take to get back riding? I have turned my horse for the winter so no stable chores and my friend rides him 4 times a week to tick him over. I’ve been on him for some short hacks on my good days.
Any advice would be appreciated.
