I have been on AC (just had my last dose yesterday - woo hoo) and have tried to walk as much as I can. The first few days will be (maybe) a slow pace down the driveway but only if I think I can get back up again, then I'll move on to a 1km stroll building up the distance and the pace as I am able. I try to manage 5km at around 10.5 mins per km in the second 2 weeks but have discovered that, while I can do it on a gently incline, steep territory is absolutely out of the question. I've also been doing very slight resistance exercises under instruction from a specialist physio. And I've been doing a little bit of swimming (in the slow lane) and did some gentle kayaking at Easter. All of this has been with approvaI from my oncologist. I do believe it helps a lot. I'm going to see an exercise physiologist through a Rehab Oncology programme next week so I will find out more from what he/she says.
