Hi Everyone,
I am also stage 4 and will be having surgery this Friday or the following Monday. I am planning on going to my exercise classes this week. I used to walk a lot but have been out of shape for many years. This past summer I started attending exercise classes 4 to 5 days a week. Now that I am back in school I try to go at least two to three times a week. The classes are more motivating for me. One of the classes includes strength training. I use weights but I am very careful with my affected arm. I also do yoga and that is a kind of strength training. I feel much healthier since I have been exercising and I am hoping that it will counteract the effects of the decradon I will have to take next week.
Best wishes,
Barbara H.
