Maintaining fitness while on a breast cancer journey

I am 10,000 percent convinced that being fit was my saving grace on my breast cancer journey. If I had one piece of advice to give, it would be to get strong and healthy. We never know when a physical or mental health crisis might hit. Mine certainly came out of the blue. No, being fit didn’t prevent me from getting cancer, but having an optimal baseline has proven to be an invaluable asset.
