Re: TCH Revisited

Glad the salt & soda rinse has helped.

I also gained weight during chemo and couldn't wait to get back to exercising. I had been able to do a little bit through treatment, but towards the end was just too tired. My favorite workout is biking, and there was a charity bike ride supporting breast cancer patients 5 months after my last treatment. I was able to bike during the summer and rode my first 100 mile ride in October. Just listen to your body and try not to do too much at the beginning. Congratulations on the end of your treatments!!

Re: TCH Revisited

Lizely Your Port type made me laugh.

I chose not to have pot either, but my chemo buddy got some from her son.
