Most people are taught to wait…

Wait until something hurts 🤕
Wait until movement feels less scary 🫣
Wait until a setback forces change 🫨

That approach never made sense to me.
And it definitely doesn’t make sense for survivors.

There’s a lot of focus on recovery after surgery.
Very little on how to prepare before it.

The Prehab Method was created to close that gap.

It’s designed for those heading into surgery who want a structured, supportive plan... one that helps you prepare physically and mentally, instead of just hoping for the best.

Prevention is empowering.

If you want to walk into surgery feeling informed, physically prepared, and mentally grounded... comment PREHAB below, and I’ll send you the details directly 🤩

I didn’t do anything wrong to be here.

Not because I didn’t work out enough.
Not because I didn’t eat the “right” things.
Not because my body failed me.

Cancer is complex.
Bodies are complex.
And blame has no place here 🙅‍♀️

Prevention isn’t about rewriting the past, but rather supporting your future.

Sometimes prevention looks like appointments.
Sometimes it looks like refreshing your portal a gazillion times waiting for results.
Sometimes it looks like choosing rest when your nervous system is exhausted.

Showing up for your health doesn’t mean you should have done something differently.

You didn’t cause your diagnosis.
And you’re still allowed to choose care moving forward.

You’re allowed to need support.
You’re allowed to prepare.
You’re allowed to protect your future without carrying guilt from your past. ❤️‍🩹

The first symptom I spoke up about wasn’t pain...⁠
It was swelling.⁠
⁠
At the time, it didn’t feel all that urgent. It wasn’t dramatic. It would’ve been easy to dismiss or to assume it was just part of recovery and something I needed to “push through.”⁠
⁠
But something in me said, "We need to talk to the doctor."⁠
⁠
Speaking up early led to education.⁠
Education led to awareness.⁠
Awareness led to action.⁠
⁠
So many survivors are taught to wait until something becomes a problem before it’s taken seriously, or that we're "bothering" our doctors.⁠
⁠
Symptoms don’t need to be extreme to be valid.⁠
You don’t need to be in crisis mode to deserve support.⁠
⁠
This is why rehabilitation, surveillance, and patient education matter.⁠
⁠
If you’re reading this and wondering whether something is “worth mentioning,” let this be your reminder:⁠
Your body is giving you information. Listen to it.

Love after cancer looks different.⁠
⁠
It looks like boundaries.⁠
It looks like choosing rest.⁠
It looks like saying no without explaining.⁠
It looks like honoring your body exactly as it is.⁠
⁠
Today, that’s worth celebrating 💖⁠
⁠
Comment 🥰 if you’re practicing self-love in a new way this year.

One of the biggest barriers I faced in accessing breast cancer rehabilitation came at a moment when prevention mattered most.⁠
⁠
After my double mastectomy with expanders, I had no idea my life would be flipped upside down... yet again. ⁠
⁠
I was told I'd need to return to the operating room for another surgery after micrometastasis was found in one of my lymph nodes.⁠
⁠
Understanding the risks, I asked to see a lymphedema specialist before undergoing a surgery that would remove most, if not all, of my lymph nodes. I wanted to learn what to watch for and how to proactively care for my body.⁠
⁠
I was told that patients don’t typically see those specialists until they start showing symptoms.⁠
⁠
That was not the response a cancer patient deserved to hear.⁠
⁠
Essential care during and after breast cancer treatment shouldn’t begin only once a problem has already developed, and education shouldn’t be withheld until someone is struggling.⁠
⁠
Lymphedema is a known risk.⁠
Rehabilitation and surveillance are preventative care.⁠
Working with specialized physical and occupational therapists should be part of the standard pathway, not a last step.⁠
⁠
This experience is exactly why I’m so honored to help lead the Patient Advocacy Program at Well Beyond Breast Cancer.⁠
⁠
Our focus is on removing barriers to breast cancer rehabilitation, so individuals aren’t left navigating recovery reactively, piecing together information after the fact, or pushing through symptoms they were never told could be addressed.⁠
⁠
Helping individuals live well beyond breast cancer means more than surviving treatment.⁠
It means reshaping the future of breast cancer care so support is proactive, accessible, and rooted in quality of life.⁠
⁠
I wasn’t asking for treatment.⁠
I was asking for education and prevention.⁠
⁠
That’s the gap we’re working to close.

Let’s clear one thing up:⁠
⁠
🙅‍♀️ Fatigue is not laziness.⁠
🙅‍♀️ It’s not a mindset issue.⁠
🙇‍♀️ It’s a physiological response.⁠
⁠
If your energy feels unpredictable after cancer, your body is communicating with you, not betraying you.⁠
⁠
The goal isn’t to push through, but instead to work with your energy.⁠
⁠
This is how sustainable strength is built 💪⁠

Let’s zoom out for a second... because there’s an important layer missing from most post-cancer conversations ❤️

Women already face a higher risk of cardiovascular disease after cancer treatment...
..add menopause (natural or medically induced), and that risk increases even more 📈

Here’s what many survivors aren’t told:
⚠️ Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in women
⚠️ Early or treatment-induced menopause is associated with a higher risk of heart disease
⚠️ Loss of estrogen impacts vascular health, cholesterol, and recovery capacity

So when survivors are told to “just get moving” without guidance…
That’s not empowering.
That’s incomplete care.

Heart-smart movement after cancer and menopause isn’t about intensity or aesthetics.

It’s about protecting your heart, regulating stress, and building strength that supports the long game.

If you’re navigating survivorship and menopause and wondering:
💭 Am I doing enough?
💭 Am I doing too much?
💭 Is this the right kind of training for my body now?

You’re asking the right questions.

💬 I’d love to know, has menopause (natural or medical) changed how movement feels in your body?

World Cancer Day isn’t just about awareness.
It’s about honoring everything that comes ➡️ after ⬅️ the diagnosis.

It’s about the plans you thought were done, until an unexpected surgery changed everything and pulled you back into treatment you never saw coming.

It’s about navigating side effects no one prepared you for, like lymphedema, and learning a whole new way to live in your body.

It’s about grieving the people who carried you through cancer… and losing them anyway.

It’s about watching someone you love face cancer again, and again, and seeing them find hope for the fourth time.

Survivorship isn’t clean.
It's messy AF.
It’s layered.
It’s unpredictable.
It doesn’t move in a straight line.

If today brings pride, grief, anger, relief, or all of it at once, you’re not doing it wrong. You’re surviving.

Drop a 🖤 if you’re navigating life after cancer in your own way, on your own terms.

Quality of life matters.⁠
⁠
And it shouldn’t depend on how much fight someone has left after diagnosis, treatment, appointments, and months spent living in survival mode.⁠
⁠
As someone who found strength through movement and now works at the intersection of survivorship and advocacy, I’ve seen firsthand how often essential care during and after breast cancer treatment is delayed, overlooked, or treated as optional.⁠
⁠
Rehabilitation isn’t a luxury.⁠
Working with specialized physical and occupational therapists is foundational care.⁠
⁠
It’s not something people should have to discover by accident or fight to access once their body is already struggling.⁠
⁠
Through the new Patient Advocacy Program at Well Beyond Breast Cancer, we’re focused on removing barriers to Breast Cancer Rehabilitation so individuals aren’t left piecing together their recovery alone, wondering what’s “normal,” or pushing through symptoms they were never told could be addressed.⁠
⁠
Helping individuals live well beyond breast cancer means more than survival.⁠
It means reshaping the future of breast cancer care, so support is proactive, accessible, and rooted in whole-body well-being.⁠
⁠
Speaking up matters. ⁠
Movement matters.⁠
⁠
But getting the care you deserve shouldn’t mean you need to be louder than what your body is already carrying.

Meet Rori Zura. At age 33, Rori was diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer after advocating for a preventative mastectomy, a journey that shaped her mission to empower others. Now a survivor, Certified Personal Trainer, and Breast Cancer Exercise Specialist, she inspires audiences to move past fear, reclaim strength, and thrive in their “next chapter.” Known for her empathy and energy, Rori reminds survivors they are the “CEOs of their bodies,” capable of rewriting their story with courage and purpose.

Movement isn’t punishment.
And it’s definitely not something you earn or owe your body.

It’s prevention. It’s protection. It’s power 🔋

In a world that keeps pushing “skinny” as the goal, survivors deserve to hear this clearly:

🔊Movement after cancer is not about shrinking yourself, burning off food, or making up for anything.

Regular, intentional movement has been shown to support heart health and reduce the risk of cancer recurrence... but only when it’s sustainable and supportive of your nervous system.

This is your reminder that consistency > intensity.
That caring for your body will always matter more than trying to shrink it.

You don’t need extreme.
You don’t need punishment.
You need movement that supports the body you’re living in now.

Save this for the days diet culture gets loud 🙈🙉🙊
And share it with a friend who needs permission to move with respect, not guilt 🥰
