One step at a time, one day at time. I look forward to catching up, and hearing more about your progress.

Oh, well – I’ll likely be in Seattle mid August and perhaps we can catch up then.

cheers – - Oren

Total empathy here. The frustration, the changes, the will I ever be like my old self again mentioned above by others- yes. AND, keep doing what you are doing, keep moving yourself toward your goals. You will get there! It’s different for each person, but for many, it takes about three years. My advice: Be gentle with yourself at the same time that you push. Some of the physical issues,can also be impacted by the confrontation mortality itself, which is a rather large experience. Or, it was for me!

Keep going buddy!

Here’s hoping you make it to CSG in Iowa; I assure you it will be a great reception if you do. Alas I won’t be there, but that’s another story …

Having never had cancer or been particularly physically active I don’t know if if I can even join this conversation but I just wanted to say that some of us (that’s me) find our aging bodies and increasing lack of energy a daily challenge. Yesterday I was so pleased with myself for getting out for two 1 hour walks, today I hope to find the strength to do one. Of all the comments above I most relate to Bob’s be gentle with yourself. And while I understand the sentiment behind Cindy’s comments I don’t go for the “push yourself as hard as you can” business. Take it easy and cut yourself some slack. Life is a marathon not a sprint, the important thing is to stay in the race (I know that’s not original). Focus on all that gives you joy.

(Then ride, ride, ride your bike and ride some more). That was my recipe. Won’t be that long before you are back to your (old :-) self! My theory (which worked for me) is to keep moving, push yourself as hard as you can without jeopardizing your recovery! You were really active and healthy before cancer and you can be really active and healthy as a survivor!! Love you!

You will come to thank testosterone, once you get the sh*t out of your system. It truly is amazing how well we recover, once the bad is out of the way. And also amazing how much bad we put in our way, but that’s a rant for another day. Your giant heart and stubborn streak are an inspiration. Being tender and fierce at the same time is a great challenge. B^)

The fatigue is really difficult to make understandable to people that have not fought the war. How lucky you are that Michele has been so understanding. Insomnia? Feel free to contact me in the dark hours any time. I can empathize. I was just telling a friend that there is now a permanent line in my life that separates the before me from the me that I have become and am still evolving into. You have come so far in such a short period of time. You are quite inspirational. I love you!
