Quick muscle gain before chemo
Replies
-
day six into treatment, Chemo sucks, but doing ok, food taste like crap, but eating anyway, plenty of carbs and protein. I am still working out lifting and doing PIYO some elliptical, not trying to gain muscle, but just trying to make the muscles work. I do feel drained and tired, but pushing through. I know my body needs the Calories and I need to move my muscles.
beating the mental game is the challenge.
Dropping in just to admire your spirit, and wish you smoothest possible progress.
I always tell people chemo was the worst hobby ever: Worse than extreme sports, worse than adventure travel. Fortunately, it's temporary, and the "one day at as time, do what you can" approach is perfect.
For me, it's 17+ years behind and steadily getting smaller in the rear view mirror. You'll put it behind you, too, and I predict you'll be fully thriving soon thereafter, with your determination.
Best wishes!
17 years!!!! wow awesome2
