Running Through Treatment

Coffee Lounge Speaking and writing about your experiences

Hi all, 

My name is Emma and at 34 I was the fittest I’d been, had raised my long run endurance from 10K to half marathon and was training for the Great North Run. On 24th June 2018 I found a lump in my left breast…grade 3, type 3 cancer. I’m coming up to my canciversary (12th July) and wanted to share my blog details here…because, as hard as it was, I ran through treatment and on 13th July I will be doing my first Ultra marathon.

You can find me at BuildingEm.blog 

Thank you x

Hello Emma, 

Thanks for sharing your experience. 

I am runner ??‍♀️ as well and I was diagnosed in breast cancer 3 weeks ago. I am still waiting for my treatment but I am already thinking about my recovery time. How long does it take for you to run again after all? 

 

Keep strong ?? 

 

thank you you so much
