Lung cancer, Non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)
Results
Pilot
This was a study to see if taking part in exercise classes after surgery for lung cancer helped people get back to their normal level of activity.
If you have non small cell lung cancer that is diagnosed at an early stage, you may have surgery to remove it with the aim of curing the cancer. But after surgery, people often have pain, tiredness, shortness of breath and less movement in their shoulder.
It takes some time to feel better and to get back to your normal level of activity. Getting back to normal can be called rehabilitation.
