No disrespect intended but I don't equate Stage IV cancer and it's wonderfully barbaric Tx to recovering from a broken bone. I still see no logic in putting more, even slightly more, stress on our body while our body is in perhaps the worst fight of it's life and needs every ounce of strength to keep up the battle. I laid on my bed from about the 4 week of Tx until the 3rd week post.
