CLL is considered both a leukemia and a lymphoma. (Yeah… I got a BOGO on cancer 😵💫?!?)
Having watched my mother and my sister-in-law battle breast cancer, I knew that the lymph system is often the pathway for a disease to spread / become metastatic.
However, with blood cancer, it’s everywhere already. There is no locus or tumor. The cancer circulates all the time.
There really is no pump or circulation process for lymphatic fluid, other than our own movement. Being a desk worker, I know I’ve been living in a dangerously sedentary way.
Things have been way too stagnant in my entire lymph system.
So I needed to find ways to move and stimulate my lymph system to circulate fluid… ways that would work during the long cold winters here in upstate NY… It’s a challenge!
So now I’m bringing in more movement and sweat to my days. I do the morning activation routine, a daily lymphatic massage (usually in the shower), and use the rebounder here and there throughout the day.
Here’s why:
It’s great with music or when watching a TV show with my husband (though I think it gets on his nerves a bit… 🤪)
