Surgery in Sept with radiation. Small lump. Nothing like yours. Also 10 year younger.

She is still feeling the effects of the surgery and radiation along with the hormone treatment.
All contribute to loss of bone density and muscle mass. We are hitting the gym now to help with that and it is helping.
You might need to do some resistance training, check with you doctors first.

All teh best.
