I agree with Inkpetal about using the money that you would have spent at the gym to purchase a treadmill or something similar. Not sure what your treatment plan will be but exercising in your own home is definitely easier if you have to have Chemo.
I had a mastectomy, chemo and radiation and used my treadmill the whole way. Walking can really help with minimizing many of the side effects.
Afterwards I saw my GP who referred me to an exercise physio. Medicare will subsidize 5 visits. She assessed my needs and abilities and designed a home program for me to help with my recovery. I still do it 2 years later as it is great for core strength.
Hope these suggestions help. Take care. Deanne xxx
