Welcome to OCF! During treatments its very important to maintain your weight. Radiation with chemo will progressively get more difficult and zap your strength. Its ok to exercise in moderation. While going thru treatments, nutrition and hydration are very important. If your exercising will be burning calories then you may want to slow down until you are recovering.
Good luck!
