Hello, I had surgery 5 months ago, I've started putting weight on due to tamoxifen and lack of exercise. Can any one tell me if it is safe to start cycling again and what exercise is ok to do.
I hope you will hear from others here who have had a mastectomy and DIEP reconstruction and that they will share with you how and when they got back into exercising following this type of surgery.
Perhaps you could ask your medical team what they think specifically about cycling at this stage? They will be in the best position to advise you as they will be familiar with your particular circumstances and the progress of your recovery after surgery.
You could also give our nurses a call on this free number if you live in the UK 0808 800 4040 - you can call them Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm. They may be able to guide you on this or point you in the right direction.
I do hope you can go on nice cycle rides again soon!
