I have metastatic breast cancer and am 4 and a half years diagnosis, my oncologist sat opposite me and said if I can give you one piece of advice it would be to exercise, some days that means I can walk up to the shed to give my partner a coffee other days it means I dont have the energy to clean my teeth,we all do the best we can with what we have on any particular day, all of the above advice is spot on, we are all just putting one foot in front of the other, on any given day.
To some of us just getting through the day is like running a marathon, I have learned not to feel guilty about what I can and cannot do, I was not able to run 5ks before my breast cancer diagnosis so I dont expect to be able to do it now, but I do know my oncologist was right, exercise in any form makes you feel good, its just doing what you are able to and not feeling guilty about what you are not,
