Having played sports most of my life fitness was always something I did a lot of . Now at 80 it’s helping with advanced age health . So far bone cancer is under control with two major doc near perfect responses to treatments blood pressure is well within acceptable heart rate responds quickly to exercise . Treatments have caused a big fatigue issue that is common side effect. Many get depressed at this but I simple don’t get depressed. As life long engineer I ask questions about everything the internet has become my portable library . There are a number of educational sites that you can join that have everything from grade school math to PHD level I wish this had been available when I was in school . I still remember terms an processes but this fatigue thing is a mystery. I just have lost the internal drive to do things. Knee and foot injuries have made getting around safely hard I use a cane with either hand so that helps . Working in the sop gave me great strength of grip , gotta hold on to things sometimes . Recent grip strength surprised me I still can squeeze with 100 pounds with either hand . Guess that why some avoid hand shake . It’s not medieval times anymore so really not necessary to show who is the bad guy any more. It was always funny to crush a right gander pitcher in the lineups after baseball games especially after driving his fast ball over the fence I was a relief pitcher noted as junk bal pitcher I had a variety of pitches and strong hands allowed a lot of spin on the ball so it moved correctly. I used to throw for hours in the bullpen pen.
Thank you
Interesting. I’ve avoided sunlight even playing sports I almost always wear summer long sleeve shirts. No shorts I don’t even go swimming much any more even though I was on swim teams through college . Welding was a source of bad light but I always wor leathers and good helmets gloves seldom got any weld burn I still wear auto dark sunglsss in the shop .

Yes, attire can be a dead giveaway, and as we get older, we can adopt a "who cares," attitude.
Your right the license engineers I new would wear long sleeves shirts even on job sit on a 110° day. I did engineer for my work but I like short sleeve shirts. Because it easy to wash after taking dimensions.Best of luck to all of you who have that dreaded, unfair affliction. Sometimes you can do everything right and it still gets you. If anyone has a family history of cancer, there are certain kinds that can be predicted by a genetic test. Then, sometimes, preemptive measures can be taken. My wife's mother died of breast cancer, although she somehow lived for 40 years (with surgeries, etc) after it was first discovered. My wife had a genetic test done and found out that she herself, did not have that cancer marker, which, of course was a major relief for us. It removed some of the unpredictability of cancer. We don't do well with unpredictability.
Anyway, back to the original post. Hang in there and keep your spirits up. You are doing amazingly well.
Sometimes, ant-idepressants should be part of a chemo regimen, but it seems most doctors don't suggest it. When you feel bad physically, feeling bad mentally is sure to follow. And that can usually be fixed. ( BentWings??
