Exercising through cancer treatment? Why, yes, that certainly makes sense! It sounds so easy and like such a "no-brainer." But, it is often a completely different story once you are in it. Too often, the treatments prescribed to wipe out cancerous cells, wipe out so much more. There are days when the thought of just walking to the front door can be overwhelming; days when your joints feel like they are coated in concrete and tied together with bricks; when your body feels swollen to 3x normal size due to the steroids and lymphedema; when any kind of feelings of self-worth are thrown out the window every morning when you look in the mirror and see a myriad of scars, radiation burns, no hair, and lost fingernails. That is when the incredible people at the Cancer Foundation for Life and Fit Steps for Life come in. They know, they understand, they don't judge and they help. Join me today in celebrating all that they do for so many!!
