Summary

This study looks at whether doing special breathing exercises for at least two weeks before breast cancer surgery can keep the breathing muscles strong. About 40 adults recently diagnosed with breast cancer will either do breathing muscle training or guided imagery exercises at home. Researchers will measure breathing strength and diaphragm thickness before and after the exercises and after surgery to see which approach works better.
