| Will I Be Able To Exercise During Treatment? |
|
Your exercise routine during cancer treatment will depend on your physical condition, and your general health before you were diagnosed. Your doctor will be able to tell you if you can exercise. Exercise, with adequate periods of rest built into your day, can be beneficial for a number of reasons. It can boost your energy level, relieve stress, decrease anxiety and depression, and stimulate your appetite.
You can also make a choice to exercise alone or with a group of friends. If you enjoyed regular exercise before your diagnosis, exercise during cancer treatment may help you feel like some areas of your life are still "normal." If you have surgery as part of your cancer treatment, your doctor may recommend some kinds of movement to prevent complications and maintain range of motion in your joints and muscles. Your doctor can help you determine activities and a schedule which are appropriate for you.
