Break out the fitbit

Hi Marlee, I reckon that you could put this out on a post yo the network. Are you able to cycle with a stress fracture in your foot ? I know that they don't recommend swimming due to the chlorine. Maybe some other members will have some suggestions for you. Hoping that your foot is better soon, Trace ????

I have just had first chemo for IDC stage 3, having Neo adjuvant then surgery

i am usually active but also have found a stress fracture in my foot - bone scan for the BC

Any hints on keeping active through the chemo ?Im having three cycles of FEC then 3 of D

thanks 

Fantastic Paula, you're an inspiration. Will definitely be walking in Melbourne during my time there. ??????

Hi again I walked every day when I did radiotherapy. It kept me sane and made me feel good.  I had to go to Townsville which is 4 hours from where I live.  I had different friends and family members with me at different times, but we always walked every day. 

All the best.

Hi Carol, thanks for the advice. My lovely hubby has organised for me to work with a personal trainer when radiation finishes in an attempt to give me some more activity. Hope that it works, Trace xxx

oops sorry about all the typos

Good luck with the exercise. I found I put on 7kg very quickly when I started on Arimix 9 years ago. Have to be very careful to not gain further weight since only have to look at ship etc to see the scales rise! Also had an issue last year when put on a new cholesterol lowering drug when again rapidly stacked on 7kg in spite of doing regular walks, using stairs not life and Tai chi 3 times a week (much more exercise thatn I ever used to do b4 Cancer) BTW for me elevated cholesterol is one of several side effects of being on Arimidex but hey I m still here 9 years after surgery and several years since I was told " we cant believe you are still here with no new primary or secondary cancer"

may need to request a fitbit for upcoming big 0 birthday!

Hope the reamining treatment radiotherapy is trouble free and you continue with the walks perhaps a picture or 2 for us envious city dwellers???

Mum, I just love my food, and my passion is enjoying others enjoy food. That is my challenge with aramitose inhibitors coming on after my radiotherapy. I'm determined to get some good walking done during my radiotherapy in a couple of weeks. Hopefully, my Fitbit will keep me on track and help me to be the best me that I can be. You guys in bcna have been my inspiration and have kept me positive during my chemo. Thank you and sending you a big cuddle, Trace ??????

Sharon, it's so awesome to find someone else with a Fitbit. It does inspire me to do just that little bit more exercise at the end of the day. Just have to get the eating bit right. Hopefully that will come good in the end. Thanks for your support, it means a lot, Trace xxxx
