Riddle me this.

Cate, I really believe that too, you really are in front, being so fit has been so key for you and it works! and whats more you Love it! doesnt get better than that! I was pre surgery still in rehab mode 14 months post chemo, with my exercise physiologist, learning to walk which I was managing 3 times a week. Working 3 days only but on my feet the whole day running around with Autistic Children, then being a single parent at home, I admit it didnt leave alot of room for me at all. So its been so hard but my kids have gone to live with their dad and its enabled me to really focus on myself and heal for the first time in 6yrs. I so look forward to being further along and being able to really start exercising whoa!!! I notice off Arimidex too Im soooo much better! I dont want to take anything LOL. ;) 

@melclarity the Nurse Practitioner said words to that effect, that being so fit before all of this stood me in good stead & is probably why I cope so well with treatment... Though believe me, I do have off days where I dont want to do anything but I also find if I force myself to get up, shower & do something, even if its just down to the coffee shop for a coffee I generally feel better...

Cate, I think you just cope super well with any drugs, so even the chemo in tablet form doesnt phase you really, which is so awesome! Yes very different to the AC infusion as you say you dont have steroids with this. I really do think its how your body copes with it all plus you are so super fit puts you ahead of things. I found for me positivity and determination I had loads of, refused to be beaten, so it had nothing to do with that rather for me my bodies inability to cope with the drugs. But I think you are doing amazing! So hey! keep on going!!! :) xo

@Share @"Polly Rose" Im not on any steroids, that is why its weird....

Hey, @Cate64 - I agree with Polly Rose, think it is perhaps the steroids although I have not had any personal experience on Xeloda.  

Hi Cate
I've followed your story for a while now as I find you quite inspiring with your determination to keep up your running  and the honesty with which you discuss your life. I'm glad that you are feeling energised while on chemo and hope that it continues that way. I know for me I was like the eveready bunny after each chemo ( thanks to steroids) and had the cleanest kitchen ever lol. Then I would be hit by the fatigue and lay low for a week. I decided to take advantage of the energy spurts and get as much done as possible and then just lay low and ride out the fatigue. I hope that you continue to feel energised and enthused to continue your running as much as possible.

Cate - fatigue can hit at any time! 

Cate its the worst!! Thank God generally am mentally strong to stay ahead lol. Im only taking panadol osteo now twice a day thats good for me at 3 weeks post surgery. I cant wait to start exercising this new body lol x

I feel for you @melclarity , being so drug sensitive must be just awful
