Hello all,
To cut a long story short, my cancer treatment and recovery has a few highs, lows and crashes along the way. I have become weary at times of picking myself up only to feel something else trying to knock me back down.
Anyway, before cancer, I was very physically active. One regular activity I enjoyed was swimming ?. It was actually during an after swim shower at the pool, that I found my lump which will be three years this August. However, just as I was reaching the end of Herceptin treatment last Spring, I ended up with a debilitating condition which made trying to swim excruciating.
After a year, and some very painful times, things have gradually improved. I bit the bullet yesterday and went to the pool. Yippee! I can swim again. It was brill. I may only have managed about 50 km at a time which is far away from my previous level of swimming 1-2km with no stopping, but I need something to aim at ?.
This may seem a little thing to some people, but not so long ago I thought my life was just going to be literally painful with every step alongside pain disturbed nights. And I couldn’t even blame it on the Anastrazole!!
I am sure we all have “little things” that we now appreciate more. Perhaps you would like to share yours… . .
Best Wishes,
Chick ? x
