Hi folks, just finished 8th chemo cycle and have joined a Park Run (in my case walk) group in Billericay. However l wondered if anyone has dabbled with "cold water swimming" and what their experiences were or are. Love to you all, l mean it. Regards Adrian

  • Hi Adrian,

    You did make me smile with your comment, you are a braver person than me just the through of the cold water is making me feel cold, I am so glad that you are keeping up with your exercise, take care Sandy

    Good to hear from you Sandy, l'm keeping strong and NOT getting any speedos anytime soon. Maybe a double thick wet suit Rofl

  • Hi Suffolkfler,

    Adrian, you really need to be careful about the 'cold water swimming' idea when you have been on Chemo.  I have no direct personal experience as I am on immunotherapy plus I don't know what chemo drugs you were given.  However my daughter was on chemo for the best part of a year and she couldn't even open the fridge door without getting severe body chills.  Speak to your oncology specialist team!

    All the best,

    Mike
