Hi there @kmakm exercise definately was good for me I made myself get up and wall my dogs early every morning I hated ipgrttimg out of bed but the labs insisted on getting me up and I appreciated their enthusiasm (not) but felt better once I’d been for sure. Just be careful with the gym as they can be a bit germy so avoid the busy times if you can and take some hand sanitizer with you too alterntetively you can get a care plan through your gp who can refer you to an exercise physiologist for exercise advice and can set a specific program you can do during chemo. You get the visits funded by the government too and most of the allied health professionals just use the referal and you have no out of pockets to pay. I also used it for my physio which i need to get back into as well. Hope this helps. Margie x
