November 11, 2014 - Get Social- Cancer is Isolating!

The diagnosis of lung cancer is the beginning of hard changes in anyone's life.   I found that during chemotherapy, I had days where I really couldn't do much and I didn't have the energy to keep engaged with others.

Once chemo was over, and I went into remission I wanted to get out again,but it was difficult.

Slowly, I began to move out into the world again, mostly because I wanted to feel better.   I needed to exercise, to get social!

Livestrong at the YMCA is a FREE 12 week exercise class for cancer survivors.   Check it out -call the Jorgensen Family YMCA

This class has resulted in great friendships!   Yesterday, Jocelyn (Upper left) and I met up to exercise at the Y- and the trainers have helped us meet up on occasion.   About a week ago, I received a cool card from Julia, (Lower right) to see how I am doing since their has been some progression and I am now in a clinical trial here in Fort Wayne.
