It is common to feel a loss of energy during cancer treatments in particular as a result of chemotherapy or radiotherapy. This loss of energy or fatigue can be severe and limit activity which leads to muscles wasting and losing their ability to function.
It has been shown that a good, regular aerobic exercise programme can help reduce this fatigue, which in turn allows you to do more of your normal daily activities with less limitation.
You can start the aerobic exercise programme during or just after treatment. Just ensure that you progress gradually and listen to how you are feeling.
