@Mich15 Lovely to meet a fellow runner! I am an exercise-aholic. I am suffering achilies tendinitis (3rd time) & shoulder bursitis at the moment from TOO MUCH running/power walking & strength workouts. I am usually over doing it so find myself feeling shattered when my injuries or BC surgery/treatment put a stop to it all momentarily.
Despite my small hiccup at the moment, within 12 months plus 1 week, following my BC surgery, I was back running 10km/ 3 times a week. I had surgery 21 Dec '17, 3 weeks of rad treatment Feb/March '18, ovary tube removal April '18 & 8 monthd later on New Years eve '18, I ran my first 10km. I was over the moon as that was my goal! So you can do it too!
I'm sure my exercise has helped me get through it all so keep up your good work. It will make you stronger & keep your mind focused on something you love. It also helps you sleep & maintain a general healthy outlook.
Good luck with the chemo & exercise. Gently, gently but do what you can as you know it will make you feel better both in mind & body. Love & strength xx
