Hi Karen,
Unfortunately Arimidex seems to be the culprit coupled with chemo side effects. I would have thought by 9 months post chemo I would be much more active. My job is extremely demanding physically and can only manage 3 days and my feet/legs ache. I also walk about 3 times a week for about 30 mins which I love. I did the ENHANCE program through the Epworth Hospital in Melbourne and totally recommend it!!! 8 weeks with professionals and strength training was awesome! Though back to reality without it. I have a Fernwood near me and was wanting to check it out but a friend also I met through the program tried the Enhance program, said the setup was ok, the only thing she found was the where she went the Staff just had no clue about how to help her, werent educated. So she didnt continue. I think every Fernwood would be very different however. My income protection has now engaged an exercise physiologist so am looking forward to that, so I can get moving!!! From there hopefully I can join Fernwood as somewhere ongoing.
Thanks Karen.
Hugs
