There is a woman on insta that I follow called Caroline circuits who has free strength training content. Pretty gentle and achievable. I’m still trying to see my personal trainer when I can albeit taking it very easy and it’s really helped keep me going.

Back on filgrastin injections - 13 more to go 
welcome bone pain 
though my neutrophils were best they have been this week 
shame about the Vitamin D!
Ooh thanks for that, this will be a good place for me to start! I listened to the Liz Riordans chat the other day and she talked about how doing 3 x aerobic and 2 x weight classes/ exercises a week could massively reduce your risks.
I’m pretty active but don’t do any weights and now I obviously need to so I will check out some of the exercises!
Forgot to say, thanks @belle1 i listened to the chat that you mentioned and I found it really interesting x
Haha, I do love carrot cake although I haven’t had one in a while. Did woke up at 1.30 am feeling hungry, just had a clementine and a banana, and told myself enough for now and hauled myself back up to bed. 
@pinklady2 I’m still buzzing just had cereal and am watching Glastonbury!! Of the joys of dexamethasone 
I’m due at a garden party in 10 hours, with a team I used to manage- told the last of them via messenger about diagnosis today so at least everyone knows. So that’s going to be a challenge!! I could fall asleep!!
@hc1973 Yes, exactly like you, my strength seemed to dwindle, and I experienced a concerning deterioration in both my arms and legs.
I followed Beth Bartram on Instagram as she had Stage 2 Cervical Cancer and is now in menopause. She created this platform with a one-off payment, with 20 minutes a day for 5 days. Here’s the link: https://the-busy-mums-club.teachable.com/
As someone else said on here, Joe Wicks and Kate RH (Owning your menopause) does something similar. I haven’t reviewed Joe’s exercises yet because I prefer to focus on one at a time to determine my preference. 
I have to get up in four hours 
as my eldest daughter wants me to do her hair as she’s attending her boyfriend’s brother’s wedding tomorrow. I am far from a hair expert and already I’m thinking about what to have for breakfast!!!
I’ve just woken up (not sure how I’ve managed to sleep mostly through a double steroid dose the last 3 nights ) but my stomach is absolutely growling too…. The steroid munchies are real haha!
Wonderful garden party, had such a fab time and felt “normal”, was just Laura our old manager
Did me so much good
That’s lovely to hear☺️ glad you had a good time and looks like you got nice weather for it!
Lovely photos Laura! You chose the perfect day, not too hot but lovely and sunny. Hope you manage to get some sleep x
Hi ladies, just getting a catch up on here now. I’ve read all the updates and hope everyone is keeping well and side effects aren’t too bad. I’ll not even try names as brain is mush lol.
I had a lovely week away at the coast and really enjoyed catching up with family as I think I’ve lived like a hermit from January. I’ve come back with a nasty cough & cold but it was worth it to have some normality.
I’ve been reading all the tips and advice on exercise everyone has shared and really need to make a start as when I was away I realised how unfit and weak I’ve become.
I’m due to start radiotherapy on Wednesday and tamoxifen same day. I’m just praying this cough goes by then.
Hope everyone is having a nice weekend
Pauline xxxx
@pollyanna1 so glad you had a lovely week away Pauline-just what you deserved. Get on and sock the next stage now. Laura xx
Another day, another event, family BBQ today. Wigless today, really pleased with how much hair I’ve kept 5 cycles in, but it is really only at its best the day it’s washed. But very grateful for how much I’ve kept
Yes, I echo @elle16 ! Your hair has done amazingly well - but thanks for sharing as it’s made me realise that I was right to stop the scalp cooling as I’d lost far more than you, even while still using it.
beautiful photo xx
