Hi, anyone got tips for getting in shape for a single mastectomy after chemo? My mum has an operation soon and is feeling fatigued, with some neuropathy. Thanks
Hi there, chemo can be rough and it takes its toll. Many people recommend walking, a gentle stroll every day and building up slowly to whatever your mum can manage. Bizarrely I find a short walk actually helps with fatigue, which seems a bit counter intuitive. And if course eating as healthily as possible, with lots of fruit and veg, will help too. Best wishes to your mum
