Hi Theresa. I’m 73 and just started fluvestrant exgevia and kisqali. I find I have to keep active everyday. I started oncology yoga which helps give me some energy. I contacted the cancer society in my city and joined a support group and attend 3 exercise classes a week. I too live alone and like the social aspect. I get three shots a week. I have cancer in my hip joint and have degenerative bone disease in my lower back. I also use a vibrating platform to keep the blood flowing through my feet and legs. You can stand on the platform or just rest your feet on the platform while you are seated. Do it while you watch tv. Helps circulate the blood in your legs. Good luck. Hope it helps.
