I had another good day today. I wish that it's been like this since the beginning of my chemo. For today, I did not experience nausea, vomit, the metal taste in my mouth nor any headache. Amazing!
I took advantage of this good day by doing minor household chores, went to Wellspring for the cancer exercise program (great workout by the way), went to the grocery and was even able to cook dinner. It's an awesome feeling and to think my chemo was only yesterday. I think I'm starting to like this Taxotere meds, better than the FEC (the first phase). ;) But it is too early to tell. We'll see how it goes.
The workout at Wellspring was fantastic! The instructors were great and friendly too. I can feel my thighs and arms starting to get sore. Cool! That means it's effective. I actually look forward to these exercises every week because it makes me feel good. Since today's a good day for me, I didn't want to miss my exercise class. I'm glad I went.
One great tip they gave me last week was that I had to walk and exercise prior to chemo, to release the toxins (I think) from my body and to help with the chemo. I guess they know what they're talking about because I do feel good. I'll follow this rule with the remaining two chemo treatments (can you imagine only two more left?!?!?!?! woohoo!).
Each time I go to the class they ask me how I feel before and after each program. I told them that the program helps me feel good and I enjoy it a lot. Every time I finish a workout, I really feel great. So if you know a cancer patient or survivor who wants to try out the Wellspring cancer exercise program, I highly recommend it. I'm hoping they'll extend my 10-week program coz I'm loving it.
Well I have to take it easy now, don't want to exert myself too much because I might pay for it later this week. After dinner, I plan to just chill and watch TV after all I did a lot today. :)
