Welcome to the online network,the best place to find support as you begin your BC experience.It definitely helps,throughout the whole journey,to do the best that you can to maintain your fitness.I walked a long distance(5 km) every day leading up to my surgery,and as soon as I came home,I started walking again.Just not as far to begin with.It helps with sleeping,circulation,weight control,and it prevents fluid and clots.I also feel so much better when I exercise every day.My weight has remained the same throughout my surgery and chemo,and I put this down to daily exercise.Stay in touch and we can continue to help and motivate you.Cheers xoxRobyn
