Thanks Linsey, that’s really useful. My amy is also of the cardiac variety and a lot of what you put already sounds familiar – steady easy exercise is fine, but any sort of slope, whether walking or cycling, quickly becomes too much – I also have an e-bike for the same reason! I do count myself fortunate that that my kids were in their 20s before my diagnosis, for many reasons. The last point you made about looking and feeling faairly normal most of the time also rings true. I get asked a lot about why I’m not running, usually from peope expecting to hear about some sort of injury and an imminent return – I haven’t really found teh ideal response to that.
It’s good to hear that your remission lasted so long and thanks for the info on side effects. My chemo will be on Wednesdays so I’m hoping that any effects will have gone by the weekend but I’m expecting to be tired – I haven’t slept well since a while before the diagnosis.
