Hi there, I'm 8 weeks after my surgery and due to have chemotherapy in the next week or so, I used to be very active before my surgery and was just asking for advice of how I can try and keep in shape and keep fit through exercise whilst going through my chemotherapy? 

Many Thanks

 

  • Welcome to Cancer Chat Shell.

    I hope your recovery is going well after your surgery 8 weeks ago. Hopefully your medical team will be able to give you advice on how to keep fit and what exercises will be suitable for you whilst you are having chemo but in the meantime you can chat about this with our cancer nurses and see what they have to say. If you're in the UK you can call them for free on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. I have also found an article on our website about exercise which I thought you might like to read as well. Just click here to find out more.

    I hope this helps and good luck with your chemo.

    All the best,
