Diannes, I would get very out -of-breath going up stairs and other exercise activities, my legs felt a bit weak and could feel it even going from a squatting and standing up position. For me it was due to a low red blood count from the chemo. I think I took Procrit to help elevate the RBC, but after the chemo was completed, my body (and RBC) went back to normal and I felt fine again.
