Hey, as title states, I battled cancer in 2010 and am cleared now , went from 160/165 lbs to 250 after chemo. I've worked my butt off to get down to 190lbs but have​ a lot of baggage left. Overall working out also keeps my stamina up and just flat out feel better. Chemo kinda beat the hell out me. Looking to find ppl out there willing to help keep me motivated, I work at a railyard 10 hours a day and just don't always have it in me to hit the fitness. Any other cancer survivors out there ? Get at me and let's share stories and get our life's back! All positive ppl welcome to add me! One Love

    Melanoma cancer survivor here. Was diagnosed with Stage IV Melanoma back in September 2017, and they removed tumors off my right lung and shoulder area. Taking OPDIVO treatments now (Chemo umbrella), but it's immunotherapy. Leaves me fatigued a lot, some morning sickness, and flares up my arthritis. Home on medical leave now, so thought that instead of becoming a couch potato, I joined Planet Fitness, as well as this site. My goal is to lose about 20 lbs (for starters).
