I do think there is a big issue about restarting - exercise, work, lots of things. Like Cate64, I worked through treatment and I still think it was the best thing I could have dome. BUT I felt pretty good. I had no nausea, no fatigue, no chemo brain (warned my staff to tell me if I showed signs, which must have been tempting!!). I had bad peripheral neuropathy and a few weeks worry about it getting much worse, but it didn't. But many others could not have done that. Neither could I if I had been vomiting, was exhausted and could not think straight. I was never much of an exerciser, but once I had finished treatment, I signed myself up for a year at the gym (in advance,I know my backsliding capacity) and now it's simply a regular part of what I do. I could not have done this if I was still combatting fatigue, inching my way back into work or facing financial ruin. My big restart issue was about who I was - the active busy person who just ignored her age, or a damaged person with weird feet, bung arm and an irregular heartbeat. I was of course neither, but I needed some restart help in getting going. Would be interesting to know how other people got their restart - what worked and why?
