Dear Friends,
I feel so good!!!! I have slowly added exercise to my schedule...previously, my walks were extremely slow and although, on some good days I could walk as long as 2 hours...the distance covered was not too exciting....recently...I have noticed a difference in my strength and endurance...I have walked several times for 2 hours with more speed...no where near my normal...just faster than before...YEAH!!! And just this week...I rode my indoor bike ...my normal watts would be 130 ish ...I was so humbled....I started at 100 and my heart rate soared to 180...WHEW...I dropped it by 10 until I was at 70 and my heart rate finally stablized at 145-150....two days ago ..I tried it again and was able to ride at 75 watts...each ride was 75 min...I have also done a little Pilates and yesterday was my first day doing Yoga....it felt so good...there were several positions I couldn't do ....felt great anyway....then I went on a real hike for 2 hours...lots of hills...not too fast...I actually have soreness today....
I can also tell I have gained a little muscle back....I don't look so emaciated....
I can't wait to see you all on Saturday...
Caution:
Please don't come to any class or to my house sick or if you think you might be sick or if you have been exposed to sickness recently ....even a no big deal cold or a little sore throat or if you think it might be allergies but not sure...this is very serious for me while for you it's just a cold...this is the only way I can even think about teaching again...Thank you....
My next Dr. appointment with Dr. Bahador is this Friday....a check up to reveiw labs and to check in with how well things are going...
My next chemo will most likely be Thursday January 4th....trying for a Friday rotation by the
4th treatment...
I feel so good ...I can see that I can work at least 2 weeks or more per month or at a time...we may all have to be flexible for this to work out...I know we can figure something out....the week of chemo is not so good...the last one was challenging for 8 days...the first one was more intense but lasted only 4 days...this next one will be interesting...
How are all of you??? How were your holidays? I am so excited about Saturday ...

Hi Summer. I am glad to hear that you are feeling better. I have not called again since Annie P. gave me your number because I am sick with a cold and I know how important it is to stay away from immunocompromised people. Feel free to call me if I can help answer / help with any questions regarding the chemo etc. I do not wish to throw myself on you so please call me when you want to talk. Nancy Pommier 858-259-8347
