• Hello and best wishes with your treatment. My husband was offered both prehab physio and once he's 4 weeks post surgery will be offered post op physio too. We are in Yorkshire and the "Active Together" programme offers tailored support for people with certain types of cancer. I have seen other people on the forum who have been offered similar help, but it's maybe a bit of a postcode lottery at the moment. 
• My husband goes to a local sports centre where they run the sessions so it may be worth enquiring locally to see if a physio or PT could work out a programme for you. My husband was tested pre surgery for general fitness including sitting to standing and grip strength. The aim is to improve these post treatments so they are better than pre diagnosis and also to encourage him to be more active going forward.
• It might be challenging during your chemotherapy but I'm sure anything you could do would be helpful. 
• Good luck. Motivation is the main thing and it sounds like you have plenty! 

Thank you for your reply. Very helpful. I am in East Yorkshire so I will pursue options. Best wishes to you and your husband. 

Sorry for the delayed response. I found this very useful, even if you dont follow the pilates programme the book is generally uplifting and helpful in any kind of long health recovery, not just stoma or bowel surgery.
