Just wondering if there are others out there diagnosed with Stage IV (metastatic) Breast Cancer, who are continuing to work out, eat right, and just live life with Metastatic Breast Cancer.
I was originally diagnosed in October of 2009. Went 5 years "cancer free", and then diagnosed metastatic in February of 2015. Cancer had spread to liver and lymph nodes. Originally told I would have about 3 years to live. Currently on a regimen of Ibrance, Letrozole, and Herceptin infusions every two weeks (along with various other medications to offset the main medications). Since starting this regimen, I'm currently NED in my lymph nodes, and the liver tumors keep shrinking. I've gone back (starting yesterday) to my gym, Farrell's Extreme Bodyshaping. It's a very challenging workout, to say the least!
I would be interested in hearing the experiences of others...how is everyone doing, what treatments are working for you, and how do you maintain a workout program during treatment.
