Update: Journey Back from My Battle with Breast Cancer.

February 13 will always be etched on my brain as the day I received one of the most devastating news in my life. One year ago today, I answered a phone call from the doctor who did my biopsy on my left breast. "Your results are back. It looks like you have some cancer cells developing on your left breast". I literally shook my head and asked him to repeat himself. I couldn't believe what I waa hearing. There is no history of any females in my family with breast cancer. I am probably the healthiest one too so wtf happened?

2025 was the most stressful year in my life. Even though my doctor said I was going to be ok, I was still worried what stage my cancer was. I wouldn't positively know until after my double mastectomy. I had to wait to almost 10 weeks after my knews until I get my pathology results. Feb/March/April 2025 was the worst. Everyone was trying to ease my mind by saying "Try not to let this stress you out because you really dont know what is going on". Sure...they were right...but this was my body... I couldn't help but worry. I was always the type of person to be prepared. No matter what. I wanted to be prepared for the worst hope for the best. But the stressing took a toll out of me. I think I lost my hair again bc of worrying.

As this date was drawing near, about a month or two ago, I started getting anxiety of this anniversary date of my cancer diagnosis. I was seriously dreading this day. But 2 days I took a step back and reflected that I have to face this date and take it back. It cant be the date I was told "You have cancer ". I had to make it just like any other date. So I went to , after getting my allegry shot, to work my glutes and hamstrings. Then I went to physical therapy and finished with getting my hair colored, washed and styled. So I pretty much did everything for myself.

I truly look forward to seeing this my 90 year young client Louise. She is the prime example that it is never too late to make changes in her life. The biggest accomplishment we have managed is she hasn't fallen while running since we started training together. The 1st thing we focused on was improving her . She was very receptive to all the exercises that I implemented into her program.
I am extremely proud of Louise with where she is at today. Her daughter was actually there training herself and watched in amazement with what Louise was actually able to do.
My goal in life is to be like Louise. If I make 90, I still plan to do my pull ups!

I keep saying this. As we age, it is important to maintain as much muscle to protect our bones. One way is to challenge our muscles and lift heavier weights. I watched my father deteriorate the last year of his life from a fall that fractured his hip. He had to stay in a wheelchair bc he wasnt strong enough to walk around after the fall. He had PT but he didnt push himself to work harder to regain muscle. I am determined NOT to live in a wheelchair.

..
Lifting weights helps you:

1) maintain balance to prevent falling,
2) react quickly to prevent falling, and
3) absorb the load better when you do fall

Each of these will prevent fractures. This is so important as you age into advanced years.

Thursdays are my favorite day bc I get the honor to work with this amazing , Louise. This is just a few exercises that I had her do today. Her program is and based. I was so happy when she told me she hasn't tripped or fallen since we started working with each other. Just to show you that it is to improve your . Louise is an avid runner but needed to start focusing on strengthtraining. As we get older, maintaining our muscles is crucial. Let Louise be a prime example that we need to LiftHeavy to challenge our muscle.
