Returning from breast cancer - advice needed

I am now counting down the days until I can start running again (21 days from today). Has anyone

Too many things going on. Need that mojo back - and some luck (good preferably)
Hi all. Not posted for a while but thought it's about time I got things off my chest. I have - up until a few months ago - been doing 3 X 10k runs a week. Then, back in early December, my wife was diagnosed with breast cancer. Since then, she has had a mastectomy and is undergoing chemo. Runs

Breast cancer, radiotherapy and fibromyalgia
Yesterday it was confirmed that I have breast cancer and need a mastectomy which will be done on the 13th May. However, the doctors are not too sure about how the radiotherapy that will follow will react with my fibromyalgia. Please can anyone tell me about their experience of this. Thank you.

Levothyroxine & breast cancer.
Iv`e read on the internet that Women who take Levothyroxine have a 200 percent increased risk of breast cancer. I don`t know what to make of this, & now I`m very scared! Should I stop taking my Levo, or consider having a double mastectomy?

B12 and Magnesium
Those proven to be at risk are
gastrectomy
patients, due to the lack of intrinsic factor, and all
gastrectomy
patients’ GPs are specifically advised to give B12 injections at 3-6 month intervals, but any upper GI patient is also nutritionally at risk as mentioned above.

Truncal and Breast Lymphedema following 2 surgeries and radiotherapy
After two surgeries, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, I developed truncal and breast lymphedema ( hand and upper arm as well but they do not bother me as much, funny enough ).

Swallowing issues and bile reflux
Is there anyone out there who has had a total
gastrectomy
with the same or similar issues? I would be interested to know how you are coping and if there is anything else that I could take to help the bile reflux.
