My Neuro-Oncology Nurse dropped me a note this week asking how I was doing. This was quite unexpected, I have called their office a 'cancer mill' - I think my doctor has a 100 patients at a time. For someone there to take the time to contact me added a lot of compassion to their otherwise cold and calculated office.
I told her about my frustration trying to get in shape. Strenuous exercise seems to make me sick. She responded that my body is telling me its not ready for that, the brain is a slow healer, and to give it more time. Not what I wanted to hear, but her insightful advise is probably right on. I'll stick with low impact exercise for now.

Glad you posted the information the nurse told you. My husband will finish his 12 cycle the first week of May. Hoping to take a nice trip somewhere but good to know that it will take time for him to get his strength back. Sounds like you are on your way to healing just taking some time.

ReplyDeleteLord Matt, every cliche' in the world has been posted now. LMAO. Here's one for ya, sometimes it's okay to be fat and not physically fit. It's all a damned trade off somewhere and the general health picture is more important than those Jack Johnson permits you guys need.
