When I said I could not find the energy to walk to the post box someone recommended I start an oncology exercise physiotherapy program - luckily offered by the rehabilitation unit at my hospital. For me this was an important support at one of those low ebbs in the course of treatment- it really lifted my wellbeing and kept me in touch with my balance and strength.
If there’s a way of changing gears with the pace of your work or the full days or weeks it might give you the space to rest and/or the time to start a physio supported program … of course, work etc can be a complex balancing act.
I cut down to working a day a week and as a way of not thinking about being a patient I studied a single unit in a short course online.
