I do agree with @Romla in that exercise is pivotal more for the mental I've found, in 3yrs I can't say exercise has been the answer for my pain, it really doesn't alter alot, it just is. I still continue to exercise as much as I can and am super active in my job. Strangely I still remember reading a report my Oncologist wrote my insurance company about my capacity to work full time...Ummmm......he said as long as I am on medication, my side effects and symptoms will remain the same and render my capacity of full time work very difficult. I guess he forgot the memo of I CAN'T AFFORD NOT TO WORK FULL TIME!!!! OR ooops sorry I forgot to tell you worst case scenario of what treatment can do to your quality of life. Hmmm...thank god for a sense of humor!!!! My exercise Physiologist said nothing I do or take can reverse the damage done by treatment and so I have constant cramping inside my chest and back, and strangely that was triggered by radiation treatment back in 2011. Whoa!!!! hahaha!!! I have to be careful how I move as they trigger easily. But NOBODY knows....I dont tell anyone, everyone at work thinks wow youre fantastic for your age the way I fly around haha!!! so sometimes a little comes out and there is nothing but shock...who knew? this is my private journey nobody can help me with the pain, so I do the things that help. So keep on ladies, Im not debilitated, compromised? absolutely, but doing Ok I think :)
