So true re: having a 'measure of grace' towards others - nicely put!
I finished chemo 3 August (no radiation) and started tamoxifen about 3 weeks later. I'm actually feeling great now for the last 2 weeks or so. Although I am not working at the moment and have no kids so I've had a good chance to recuperate :)
I try to walk every day for 30 minutes each morning (realistically 4-5 days a week at the moment!) and practiced yoga throughout when I felt up to it. I find yoga helps me stay centred and keep my body moving so I don't seize up entirely! And it helps with muscle pain.
I'm also taking vitamin D (I was deficient), iron (my haemoglobin was low), and fish oil. Can't hurt right?
I hope you get your mojo back real soon. I does take time and as they keep telling me. "everyone is different"
