Hi Humblevoice
Thanks for sharing your feelings so openly. Glad you are recovering so well from your treatment. Regaining physical fitness and strength is a huge goal to achieve. Well done!
Like you, I enjoy exercising and have learnt to set realistic expectations for myself especially during my breast cancer experiences. It's a big priority in my life and I have learnt that what works for each of us is different.
I also know that it can be both challenging and rewarding to be part of any breast cancer support group (whether it's face-to-face or online) - to find your voice and be heard! Having a group leader who reinforces respect and support for each other makes a big difference.
We're all working through our vulnerabilities, our "ups and downs", and healing, in so many ways - so I try to be less reactive (and more forgiving) to what I feel are hurtful and unhelpful comments. Letting go of the negative stuff isn't always easy for me - but it's definitely empowering!
Wishing you the best with your fitness, health and happiness.
Di
PS Having just turned 60 - and just finished 45km ultramarathon in a personal best time! - I'm celebrating life! Lots more to look forward to!
