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
