Hey Billy,

Once I got finished with treatment in Nov. 2007 I had all sorts of emotional stuff going on. I was personally angry, grumpy, unmotivated, down, and lethargic. It definitely put some strains on some of my relationships. December was a tough month and I consider some of the weeks during that month my dark days. It wasn't really until January when I started exercising very slowly and that I started getting motivated and feeling positive again. I remember going out for a jog in early January and barely being able to finish a 1/2 mile. I ended up walking most of it and puking immediately afterwards but it was a start. Just this last weekend I jogged 10 miles with out stopping and it felt great. So, working out has really worked for me. I like to mix it up with biking, jogging, swimming, and doing some strength training as well. I live a much healthier lifestyle and feel great. Good luck, and as we've all learned patience is key so just take baby steps and try to improve a little at a time. Again, good luck and find some outlet or stress reliever.
