Question about exercise with weights

[Erin]

Hello Ladies,
New question of the day for you (lol)!

I have been a life-long exerciser - running (back in the day when my joints could take it) treadmill, elypical, free-weights, machines.....even taught aerobics for 7 years. As you can see from my signature, I had 3 nodes removed - all negative.

Now that I can see the light at the end of the tunnel as far as the TCH is concerned, I am thinking about resuming my work-out schedule (2-3x per week cardio, 2-3x per week weights). Should I be concerned about weights on the bc side as it relatest to the possibly development of lymphademea? I REALLY need the exercise, as I am of English and Irish extraction and without regular weight work my muscles just seem to melt into jelly. I also have a family history of osteoporosis, all the more reason to be doing weight-bearing exercise.

Any advice?
