With October being breast cancer awareness month it got me thinking about labels - Breast cancer SURVIVOR or THRIVER?
I usually feel more comfortable saying thriver but, I’m getting a little more used to survivor. How about you?
Which do you prefer?

Working on some lymphedema videos to help with your recovery…including a self-lymphatic massage. I shot the videos with my own lymphatic massage therapist, who treated me for lymphedema. Stay tuned 😀.

A health habit that I want to keep up in 2024 is a DAILY 10 minute meditation. My goals in doing this are to help reduce tension, promote calmness and help with my busy mind!
Do you have any health-related habits you want to implement for next year? This could be to cope if you're currently going through breast cancer treatment or to manage survivorship.
COMMENT BELOW to share with others going through a similar experience.

Rehab & Self-Care Tools after Breast Cancer Surgery
Hi, I’m Erica. I was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer at 43. I had a double mastectomy, radiation & reconstruction (tissue expanders to implants). It's been quite the ride!
As an athlete and a chiropractor, I wanted more guidance with rehab and recovery. Working out throughout cancer treatment has been a huge part of my recovery both physically and mentally. It's also been helpful in this new phase of survivorship. I've been navigating the limits of what I can do physically, especially with implants placed under the chest muscle.
I’m making videos that I wished I would've had as guidance. The videos cover what to expect with:
✔️ surgery, radiation & breast reconstruction
✔️ rehab and self-care tools to address side effects of treatment (cording, radiation fibrosis, lymphedema, chronic neck & shoulder pain). I had all of these side effects and more!
