NEVER GIVE UP!!!

02/14/2026

I’m a breast cancer survivor. I’ve been through surgeries, chemotherapy, radiation, and my last surgery was just about ten weeks ago.

Today I benched a little over one plate. And yes, my PR is much higher, but right now that doesn’t matter. Being able to press at all is a win.

Strength isn’t always about numbers. It’s about context. The version of me today has walked through things the old me never had to face. So the only fair comparison is who I was yesterday.

Progress looks different after hardship, but it still counts. Every rep. Every step. Every comeback.

POV: when you realize this shot is part of your life for the next several years.

Zoladex isn’t the glamorous neither is survivorship. It’s the monthly reminder that prevention sometimes looks like discomfort, patience, and trusting the process even when it’s hard. The side effects, the emotions, the reality of medical menopause ➡️ it’s a lot but doable I have found.

But it’s also protection. It’s doing everything possible to lower risk and stay here for the life I’m still building.

Not easy. But worth it.

Week ten post-DIEP flap reconstruction.

Here I am doubling three plates, then flowing into controlled upper-body accessory work to reintroduce movement, restore mobility, and reconnect with my body. This phase matters just as much as the heavy lifts. Stretching, controlled loading, and patience are what allow strength to return safely.

Mobility has been a priority from day one, and it’s one of the main reasons I chose a DIEP flap over a lat flap. Preserving upper-body strength and range of motion mattered to me, not just for lifting, but for long-term function and quality of life.

This is what intentional recovery looks like.

Cycling update, week nine post-DIEP flap reconstruction.

Twelve miles today and I crushed it. Each ride feels smoother, stronger, and more controlled. I’m putting out more power, recovering well, and trusting my body more every time I clip in.

The plan stays simple: add one mile at a time. No rushing. No shortcuts. Just consistent work and respect for the process.

Progress doesn’t have to be loud to be real. We keep building.
