Hi @ChezaH
I’m still on oral chemo for a couple more months, but my last surgery was in June last year following chemo and rads. It’s been such a long frustrating and hard road back to where I was with my fitness.
I started with barely able to be able to walk to the house next door, then to the corner, then around the block, and now I am up to over an hour. It helps to have two big dogs that won’t take no for an answer!!
Im also lap swimming and stationary bike riding now, I built those up very slowly too. Bike riding started at 2 mins a day, now I’m up to 20!
I feel so much better too. It takes a long time, but you will get there, and you are worth it. :) My onco gave me a pep talk when I was feeling like you, she told me I had to extend myself beyond my comfort zone as I was too weak. I did the it with guidance from a sports physio.
Rehab is hard work..... I kind of look at it as my job now!
I’m also thinking of doing pink Pilates, it’s a specialised Pilates for BC people like us.
I am not a fitness junkie, I just do all this to keep myself strong and to feel better
