Hey gang! I mentioned a while back that a swim magazine was interested in publishing an article I had written about exercising during breast cancer treatments. Anyway, the online version is up for everyone to see if you are interested. It's my first attempt at writing in a long time but I hope you enjoy it. Cheers! Pitt

    I"ll check it out...
    A local gym in my area gave all patients free membership for 6mths...I could be used during or after treatments-I never took advantage of it-I did go check out the gym-I thought good idea and gesture!

    I"ll check it out-Thanks for info

    Thanks girls!
    I appreciate it ladies. I know we all have challenges but sometimes we just have to put our heads down and push through it. I love hearing about your writing VickiSam! That's wonderful. Chen, I don't need to give you advice...just keep doing what you are doing! Well, I am off to my next project... ;-)))))). Hugs, Pitt

    what a great article!
    And you look fabulous! Good for you for exercising and sticking with it through all your treatment and beyond.

    I needed to read this inspiring article today as I was getting very discouraged with the steriods and weight gain, and trying to exercise and feeling lousy. Thanks for the inspiration!

    Good for you!
    I will read your article in a few minutes. I exercised during treatment too. I didn't do a lot but as much as I could. Docs wouldn't let me do water aerobics (my favorite) though. We have a star in our midst.
