Well seeing as the last post got a bit emotional and deep, I thought I'd just share some of the good stuff I get up to during my good days off chemo.
After a round of chemo, I generally get roughly a week of feeling just about normal, a little bit of muscular pain, mostly in my shoulders and back (maybe from being laid up initially?) and a bit fatigued but, I manage to get about and live a bit of a life. I'm trying to fill my well days with positive and happy activities, that way hopefully the bad days speed by.
Luckily, the weather is getting better which means I'm managing to get out a bit with the dog. No where special, just our local park, but there's a lot to be said for simply getting yourself out for a walk. The act of putting one foot in front of another really seems to have the most amazing effect on my mood. It is hard work, I get tired and breathless, but there's plenty of benches for me to have a sit and recover on. I've long said exercise is a very under utilised anti-depressant!

I made if even naughtier by adding extra thick cream on top. I must be the only cancer patient to put on weight! Better start watching what I eat!
