I think it's wise to "listen to your body" (so you don't overdo it), but otherwise stay active, and that it's good for both mind and body.

Thank you for the response. I think the immunosuppression is the part that worries her the most. She thinks that if she is going to have to be cooped up at home, unable to go out to restaurants, swimming pool, etc. that she would rather do supportive care rather than chemo.
Glad to hear that these activities may still be allowed if she does choose to go for the chemotherapy.
I'm leaning towards wanting her to take the Vidaza because I want her to have a fighting chance to be around for a couple more years, but I will respect her wishes and decision no matter what.
