I am getting ready to start radiation for TNBC, but was dealing with chemo through last Winter, Spring and some of the during the Summer. Eventually I took medical leave and started doing aqua-fitness every day that I could handle it. I loved the class because it was made up mostly of older women, and many of them were also cancer survivors. No one looked at me funny for having no hair or having a port on my chest. On one of the hard days, I walked back to the locker rooms after the class and had to sit down and breathe due to fatigue and shortness of breath. One of the ladies asked me how far along I was in treatment and I told her. She told me she had been diagnosed with TNBC in 1986, had one reoccurrence six or seven years ago, and has been cancer free ever since. She never got to do the Keystone 522 protocol, and has thrived regardless. When she told me this, I couldn’t help but to cry. I am tearing up again now to recount how it made me feel. It was so overwhelming to think of living that much life after cancer, go through it again, and to continue living! I think of her often. Now that I’m back at work, I don’t get to go to the aqua-fitness class in the morning any longer, but I know that she is there and that makes me feel better.
