It's hard when you are going through all this. I found reaching out on this network to be a wonderful lifeline. It is a lonely time, going through chemo, and doctors and nurses are not always the best support.
No one really understands unless they have been there. Don't beat yourself up about not exercising, it is so hard to just get through each day sometimes. Chemo often upsets the surgery area and it can become painful. If you can manage some stretches it will help. Just do what you can, doing them in the shower with warm water running on you can make it less painful.
I found reading about other people's experiences on here really helped. It helped to pass the time and I learnt so much about how to cope with treatment and life after BC. If you have any questions or worries there is usually someone on here who can help, day or night, public holidays and weekends! We can not help with medical issues but we can help with practical matters and give emotional support. I hope you feel better soon. The chemo drugs really mess with your moods. Take care and please keep posting and we will do our best to help you through. Sending you a big hug. Deanne xxxooo
