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

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
