Exercise on chemo
Hi Ladies
I just wanted to post on here to see people's responses. I have had a delay due to low neutrophils but they are back up and having chemo as we speak.
I was talking to a nurse and a social worker that told me that I am exercising too much or at too much of an intensity. Now I walk about 4 times a week roughly and it varies from 30-45 mins and I sometimes do yoga. My side effects at the moment are not too drastic but I was told to take it back a notch which is fine I am happy to drop the pace a bit but was told my neutrophils are effected by exercise? Anyone shed some light on this or exercised similar to me on chemo? Obviously I'll ask my oncologist but I don't see her until next week. Thanks in advance x
