Celeste, I agree.

Although I feel "stuck in a rut" jobwise, I try to fill that gap in my personal life.

After Herceptin, the energy DOES come back, having said that, it is not EFFORTLESS to perform tasks and to return to exercising. It is HARD WORK and necessary. I try to look at it like drinking water, or going to the bathroom. I HAVE to do it, so I might as well GET IT DONE! The reward is a feeling of accomplishment, well being, and increased energy!

Good luck!
