neveragainvaccines- GREAT JOB! In late 2021 i had 13 rounds of chemo, 12 rounds, 1 per week to start. Brca2 and soon to find HER2+ tumor. I did not take action to retain my muscle. I found my chemo Friday did not hit me to mid Sunday and hit me with fatigue. I used Zofran/Compazine for 3 days for nausea and senna a laxative, two days of none and then on the 7th day- chemo again. Not once did i think about my muscle tone. It was a given i had been strong through regular activity my entire adult life. Bam. By the time i had my surgery in 6.5 months, I lost it all. I was still active working my part time job visiting pet stores, but i did not strength train.

I hope more people promote success at taking action early on. Laurie's post I need to check out. So far, after getting MDS, since late June I have gone from 4000 steps a day to over 10, 000 every day. Now it is to add weights.
