Does anyone here know if it's safe to carry on with exercise while having cancer?
I re started my weight lifting at the beginning of May. I found the blood in my poo and thought it was because I'd overdone it, too much too soon, I had stopped lifting them in September of last year. I thought now I know the blood was from cancer and I'm fortunate enough to not feel ill if it would be OK to carry on lifting the weights.
Love to hear any views or advice.
Wishing you all well.
