Hello -
Our trainer for my cancer surviver's fitness group is a mast/BC patient. She does weightlifting in competition. She is back (after 2 years) to her full lift before her diagnosis. She took it nice and easy as she had lymphedema almost immediatley after her surgery.
But that is pretty well under control now, so knows how to help those of us in her class with the problem. Not that I want to lift more than my body weight, but a few pounds for strengthening would be fine!
