Chemo and Exercise

I walked almost every day of chemo. Long sleeve thin shirts as necessary but mostly walked early or late to avoid the worst of the UV. Started with short distances thefirst week of each cycle and built up to longer distances by the end. The last cycle was hardest and my heart was struggling with the exertion. I continued to walk but it included a lot of sitting down! On the days when I could do nothing else if I'd got out for my walk I didn't feel as if the day had been a complete waste. It was good for my mental health.

Do you have friends offering to help? Saying 'if there's anything I can do please let me know'? Now would be the time to rope them in to be your walking companion. It'd be good for them too! K xox
