I was 67 when first diagnosed and am now 81. My cancer was Stage3c2 and grade 3 tumor, about the worst. I had an excellent gyn/onc, very thorough, and very supportive. I did not hide myself, I went to deep water aerobics three times a week, missing only the week of chemo. I did not have any nausea thanks to many meds. Five meds by infusion before the actual chem and four more to take every 6 hours for the three days following. I never had a cough or sniffle throughout the treatment. I am truly blessed. I do have neuropathy in both sensory and motor nerves and have used a walker for most of the 14 years. We have traveled and I have seen grandchildren grow up, graduate from universities and make their way in life. I still do those water aerobics, lead a Bible study, go to church, make hand stitched quilts.

Hello again, @ejrdevries Thank you for sharing all this with me. I've been told by oncology that keeping active is so good for us and to continue to stay active even when you don't feel like it. You are such an example of that with keeping up with the deep water aerobics. Yes, you are blessed and you've had the opportunity to watch your family grow. I truly appreciate that you have shared here as show me following the treatment plan with your GYN/ONC has led to the full life you have now. I'm not a quilter but I love hand-made quilts. Did you quilt throughout your cancer treatment too?

Blessings this Thanksgiving
