Exercise and breast cancer

@eastmum Repeating what everyone else has said.  Walking to an intensity where you are slightly out of breath but able to talk is what is generally recommended.  You should be able to do that and your post-surgery exercises  After that, I would suggest a specialised programme such as Encore, an exercise physiologist or specialist physio, or a oncology rehab programme once you've had the clearance from your medical team (eg you won't be able to swim until you've been cleared by the surgeon).  I am at the end of AC chemo and have been given very light resistance work to help with cording issues by a lymphoedema physio.  I have just signed up to an 8 week oncology rehab programme offered through the hospital where I am going for chemo and although I've yet to start, I have had a lot of measuring done to check my level of fitness before a personal exercise regime is done for me.  I think it is important to make sure that whoever is setting your exercises has a good understanding of breast cancer treatment and the side effects.
