So after being diagnosed with CML start of August and used to being quite active 56 year old have found it hard not doing things I was before. Have gone out for some short walks but this week I decided to go on my turbo trainer as being a keen cyclist just for a gentle steady spin. Was wondering if many other people do much exercise?
Hi again Spen …… each blood cancer (even with different types of blood cancer) journey can be ever so different.
It took 14 years before I needed full on treatment for my 2 rare types of T-Cell Lymphomas…… but I worked at a very demanding teaching job for 12 years….. and lived as normal a life as I could.
The simple rule of thumb is you do as much as you are physically are able to do… if you are overdoing things….. your body will tell you.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
