Hi Eastmum,
don’t beat yourself up too much about not exercising- it’s very easy to get out of the swing of it. 2 bouts of bc and being in a wheelchair for 18mths from a broken ankle killed my exercise mojo! Walking is a good place to start.After treatment I attended the’Enrich’ program run by the Cancer Council.Encore is also another exercise program that helps after treatment.They are free and run by exercise physiologists and dietitians. I guess you’d need to be careful with expanders in and so an exercise physiologist or physio would be the way to go and not a trainer.Chemo is going to knock you around so be kind to yourself- there’s no rush.
