This question, I realize, probably just marks me for the newbie that I am.  Yoga has been very important to my well-being and I'd like to continue it as much as possible through all phases of treatment.  This concern is part of why I have been nervous about getting a port.  Can I downward dog with a port?  Vashistasana?  How long do I have to wait to try?

Are any of you yoginis?  How have you modified your practice to accomodate the rigours of cancer treatment?

Thanks,
Denise

Hi Denise, I am afraid I cannot help you with your question but I have been intererested in trying Yoga.  Could you suggest a good beginners book?
