As I said yesterday in my blog, I had a doctor who was a big advocate of exercise during cancer treatment. She had seen many different patients treated for many different cancers since she was a radiation doc. I have always remembered the thing she told me at one of our visits about how movement during treatment helps one to have more energy. So I am celebrating the surge in energy, as Angela called it, from getting back to my aerobic exercise this week.
This morning I did a row and saw my time for 500 meters improve over the rows I did Monday and Tuesday. Yesterday I ran errr jogged about 3 miles that wore me out. But I felt better this morning on the brisk walk I took after my rowing workout. I would love to find a way to keep this up when I feel weak and nauseous from chemo. But the best I seem to do is to walk a bit. At least it does feel good to work my way back into shape.
I'll go for my chest CT later this afternoon. Hope that continues to show improvement of the pneumonia. Not much more to report on the health front.
