Hi all I’m 8 weeks into what’s predicted to be a year of breast cancer chemo (Pacitaxel, Carboplatin, EC) with surgery due around the 6 months mark. After 8 weeks of weekly treatment including steroids I’ve gained quite a bit of weight and lost most of my stamina. I’m trying to walk every day even if it’s just 20 mins but is there any other exercise I can reasonably do? Would it be worth getting a PT to put me a gentle routine together for me? Has anyone tried Tai Chi? Friends and family keep saying I can just lose the weight and build back up after this is all over but that’s potentially a full year away. I know it sounds vain and I need to focus on getting well but it’s getting me down and I think a bit of exercise could help? Has anyone carried on exercising during treatment?
