Yes, I agree about the walking. I'm like the postal service, "neither rain nor snow keeps me from walking."
But I do admit that I don't walk if it's ⚡ lightning.
I truly feel the walking has kept me going during the last 4 years.
Stay strong.

I am so grateful for these words, @aardvark2118. ”Try and stay positive as treatments do not have to be as they’ve been depicted in movies and tv.” I’ve been carrying images around from too many tv movies of yore, and memories from my family members’ GYN cancer journeys, some of which ended over 30 years ago. It’s difficult to erase memories from the last stages of their lives in favor of the positive and beautiful stretches and moments during, between and after their treatments. I am so grateful to you for your report of your experience.
I also realize that my memories have been steeped in my experiences of grief and dread of my losses at a time in my life when I had so many fewer skills for coping with them.

For me, as the person living with the cancer diagnosis and the spectre of its possible return, I have, as you and others so beautifully remind me, SO many opportunities to positively impact my own experience and a great desire to live and take in pleasure from each of those opportunities…exercise, fresh air, sunshine, pets (even our goldfish!), birds and squirrels outside my window, and connections with friends and loved ones. My connections here are also so precious, however they unfold. My thanks to all here who reach out and share your experiences, ask for information and comfort and who offer it in doing so.

@aardvark2118 Thank you for reminding all of us that the images we have of cancer treatments, especially chemotherapy, are antiquated. I'm considering how less dramatic it is to show an actor diagnosed with cancer, receiving chemotherapy, and moving through their depicted life with Hope and energy. That ease could take place in the kitchen cooking for their family, taking walks with friends or their partner, skiing, and traveling to somewhere they have always wanted to go.

When I was in Newfoundland several years ago I met a woman who had recently gotten into birding and photography. We were with an organized birding group and she was often at the head of group with our guide. It was only later, as we said goodbye, that she told us that she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and was headed back home for meetings with her doctor and more treatment. This was before my own endometrial cancer diagnosis and I remember how stunned I was. I thought how vital and healthy she looked. And she was.

This is a reminder that the advances in cancer research and treatment mean that it is reasonable to expect some changes and effects but not necessarily those images shown on TV and movies for dramatic effect. Or what have heard in the recent or distance past.
