Combating breast cancer through fitness 🎀

03/19/2026

You’re told to “be careful”…
but no one shows you this.

In honor of Lymphedema Awareness Month, I wanted to show what care actually looks like beyond the word itself.

Lymphedema therapy can include:
🌬️ Breathwork to stimulate lymphatic flow
🎯 Targeted stretching
💆‍♀️ Manual soft tissue therapy

…and in my case,

This modality uses gentle vibration to work beneath the surface, supporting fluid movement and tissue health.

Lymphedema care isn’t something to fear.

It’s ongoing support for a system that’s been through a lot.
..and honestly? It’s become one of my favorite forms of self-care.

Huge thank you to Randee at JR Care for being part of my care team and for the work she does supporting survivors 🤍

Lymphedema risk may not expire…
but neither does your ability to support your body 😜

We celebrate finishing treatment like it’s a finish line 🥳

And in many ways, it is... but survivorship can feel strangely quiet.

The daily appointments stop.
The check-ins become less frequent.
The world moves on.
The safety net is taken away in one swift move.

Meanwhile, you’re still learning your new body.

Maybe you’re rebuilding muscle.
Maybe you’re managing fatigue.
Maybe every ache sends you spiraling back to the day you were diagnosed.

Treatment ending doesn’t mean *p**f* your life magically resets.

If this part of the journey surprised you, you’re not alone.

Comment SURVIVOR if this resonates 🎀

When I was diagnosed with Triple Negative at 33, people kept telling me how strong I was.⁠
⁠
“You’ve got this.”⁠
“You’re a fighter.”⁠
“You're so brave”⁠
⁠
And I know it came from love.⁠
⁠
But if I’m honest?⁠
⁠
Those words were triggering.⁠
⁠
Because what’s the alternative?⁠
⁠
I have to have this.⁠
I don’t want this.⁠
I don’t get to opt out.⁠
⁠
Being called strong can feel like a compliment.⁠
But sometimes it feels like pressure.⁠
⁠
Like you’re not allowed to fall apart.⁠
Like you’re supposed to carry it well.
⁠
I didn’t feel strong waking up from surgery.⁠
I didn't feel strong leaving chemo treatments.
I didn't feel strong laying under a beam of radiation.
⁠
I felt scared.⁠
Disoriented.⁠
Changed.
⁠
And if you’ve ever been told how strong you are when you felt anything but… I see you.⁠
⁠
Strength doesn’t always roar. Sometimes it’s just breathing through something you never wanted.⁠
⁠
If TNBC is part of your story, you don’t have to perform strength here because no one fights alone 💗

When I was diagnosed, the "standard of care" I experienced was reactive.

“We’ll address it if it becomes a problem.”
“We’ll see how you recover.”
“Let’s wait.”

So I waited.
I waited for my body to tell me something was wrong.
And that waiting cost me time, confidence, and function.

No one talked to me about building strength before surgery, I did it on my own.
No one explained how I could support my lymphatic system, I researched myself.
No one encouraged me to establish a baseline so I knew what “normal” felt like going in, I fought to have one created.

That’s why I created The Prehab Method.

Not as medical treatment.
Not as therapy.
But as structured, intentional training designed to help you prepare your body before surgery.

Because going into surgery stronger ➡️ changes how you come out.

If you have surgery scheduled or are newly diagnosed, this is the window to build your foundation.

💬 Comment PREHAB and I’ll send you the details!

Lymphedema is not a rare complication...
It’s a documented lifelong risk.

And yet, many survivors are told to wait until symptoms appear before seeing a specialist.

That was my experience.

I asked for education.
I asked for baseline support.
I was told we typically wait.

Wait for what?
Swelling?
Tightness?
Functional loss?

Prevention is not taking action when symptoms occur.

If you’ve had lymph nodes removed or radiated, you are allowed to ask questions. You don't need to prove something is wrong to deserve guidance.

You are allowed to request surveillance.
You are allowed to advocate for your body.

You're not “being dramatic," and you're not being a "difficult patient."

You're being informed because you are the CEO of your body.

Save this. Share this. Let's start asking better questions.

The “Power of 3” campaign always hits differently for me. Because Triple Negative changed my life, fast.

Here are 3 things I wish I knew when I was diagnosed:

1️⃣ Use your voice. Ask the questions. Ask them again. Ask for clarity until it makes sense. You are the CEO of your body.

2️⃣ You’re allowed to pause. If something feels rushed or off, get a second opinion. Big decisions deserve breathing room.

3️⃣ Let yourself be held. You don’t have to be “strong” every second. Tap in your people. Borrow their strength when yours is low.

If you’d like to support TNBC-specific research, my fundraiser is linked in my bio. 100% of individual donations go directly to TNBC research. 🎀

The first of the month is your reminder.

Not to panic.
Not to spiral.
Just to check in with your body.

Know what’s normal for you.
Know what feels different.
Know your baseline.

Because early detection starts with you knowing your own body.

Education is protection.
Awareness is action.

So today, take two minutes.
In the shower.
In front of the mirror.
Wherever you feel comfortable...

to feel it on the first 🍋
.. if you’ve never been shown what to look for, the Know Your Lemons app is an incredible resource that makes breast health simple, visual, and accessible.

Save this as your monthly reminder.
Tag someone who needs it.

So often fear convinces us we’re not strong enough, brave enough, healed enough, ready enough.

But strength isn’t the absence of fear; it’s about moving forward without letting fear decide for you.

If this month taught us anything, it’s this:
You don’t have to wait until fear disappears to choose yourself.
You just have to stop letting it run the show 🙅‍♀️

As we move into our next chapter, let this be your reminder that you are not behind, you are not broken, and you are more capable than you’ve been giving yourself credit for 💖

It infuriates me that so many survivors are never told how their lymphatic system works, or how their treatments can affect it long after treatment ends.⁠
⁠
Through patient advocacy work, this is one of the most common gaps I see: people navigating swelling, heaviness, or discomfort without ever being told what’s happening or what support exists.⁠
⁠
As the new Patient Advocacy Program Lead with my focus is helping to ensure survivors have access to education that should never have been optional in the first place.⁠
⁠
Lymphatic health is a key part of survivorship 🗝️⁠
⁠
In many cases, lymphedema begins as a flare, and when caught early, it can be managed ... even reversible with the right support ⚠️⁠
⁠
This post is just an introduction.⁠
⁠
As we head into Lymphedema Awareness Month, we’ll continue breaking down what to watch for, how to support your body, and how to advocate for care.⁠
⁠
Save this. Share it. Survivorship shouldn’t depend on luck.

You are allowed to modify workouts forever.⁠
⁠
Not just while you’re healing.⁠
Not just on “bad” days.⁠
Not just until you’re “strong enough.”⁠
⁠
Forever ♾️⁠
⁠
Modification is not regression 👈️⁠
It’s information. It’s strategy. It’s wisdom.⁠
⁠
Bodies change, especially after cancer.⁠
Energy fluctuates. ⁠
Scar tissue responds differently. ⁠
Hormones shift. ⁠
Joints, lymphatics, and the nervous system all have their own timelines.⁠
⁠
Adjusting a movement doesn’t mean you’re doing less.⁠
Strong training isn’t about forcing your body to comply.⁠
It’s about collaborating with it, so you can keep moving long term.⁠
⁠
If no one has told you this yet, let this be your reminder:⁠
Smart movement adapts.⁠
Sustainable strength evolves.⁠
⁠
Save this for the days you feel tempted to push past your body instead of partner with it. Future you will thank you. 💛
