What does the future look like for a stage 4 NET patient?

I want to ask a question about the exercising. I was an avid runner and I was busy four of the 5 days exercising. They did discover a brain tumor in June of last year and since then I have not been able to run or go to the gym. I still have a balance issue not all the time but I know it's there. I feel like if I don't run or get my steps in I'm a failure. I don't lay around by any means but it's not safe for me to go to the gym. Any other thoughts?

@crawfordville I had balance issues. I am not sure, if they were from my metastatic pnet, the chemo, going deaf in one ear almost six years ago, or a combination of all of them. My son had balance issues, when he had a concussion. He went to vestibular therapy. I tried some of his therapy exercises, and they really helped. Have you tried anything like that?

@crawfordville I totally understand. What helps me is cycling on a stationary bike. I'm able to get in intense workouts and its safe. Try a Peloton!
