Hi @TeePee,
Firstly, congratulations on finishing treatment! It can take quite some time to feel better after everything our poor bodies go through with treatment so be gentle with yourself.
I personally found walking for gradually longer times helpful to get moving again but the best thing is to find something you enjoy.
A good GP can help you find services appropriate for you. They can organise a personal health plan where you get 5 subsidised (Medicare) visits to health professionals such as a dietician, exercise physiologist etc.
I found an exercise physiologist to be very helpful because I simply wasn’t ready to go out and just go to the gym or a normal exercise class. They can help you recover with a much more individualised program.
I hope that you find some of this helpful as you try to get back to feeling good again. Just take it one step at a time and don’t put too much pressure on yourself. Take care. xxx
