Hi Erin,
First, hang in there you are almost done!!!!! I have two treatments of radiation left. What a celebration we will have!

I have been exercising again for the last two months, right after I finished chemo. My surgeon is the one making the calls (I had two levels of lymph nodes removed). He said to start out slowly and did okay weights. I feel so much better walking and doing some resistance training. I use hand weights only from 2 to 8 pounds. So far no problems.

Good luck.
Donna
