Hello everyone! How are you feeling?

I decided to start this discussion today to talk about the importance of physical activity when dealing with cancer. Often it can be very difficult to stay active or find the right program that respects your limitations and goals. 😥

@DaleArmstrong @Rachelle @KgolaSekee @Lindokuhle2Lee @Appleblossom @richard3 @Twhau5151 @Jomaryngs @BRDdestiney1960 @Ebrooks4889 @kmbcancer @Hrdavis74 @jamesh @byoung57

How do you stay active? Do you believe in the importance of fitness for cancer patients? What motivates you to exercise?

Take care,

Polina from the Carenity team

I completely understand as I don’t have anyone to talk to also. I’m a widow & I live alone. My oldest son died in 2021 & my youngest son & his family live 3 hours. My father is dead & my mother has chronic back pain & is immobile. My younger sister lives with our mother & she is going through a divorce from her husband who abandoned her. My sister doesn’t visit me, help me, call me & rarely texts me. I have various cousins, a niece & nephew that are spread out in nearby states but are hours away from me. After I told my friends I had cancer, they quit contacting me. I have learned how to be my own care giver. It has been very difficult. I’ll admit I’ve been depressed, cried a lot, felt sorry for myself but I never gave up. I prayed & read my Bible everyday. Then I found cancer groups online like this one where I could share what I was going through & got empathetic responses. That really kept me going. I hope you find someone to talk to but I highly recommend the online cancer chat groups.
