Steve, some people sail right thru their treatments while others struggle. Everyone is different. So it will depend on how you handle your treatments if working out is part of your routine or not.

Talks about your weight. It is on the low side for going into this. Your sense of taste will change for a while and eating probably will become more of a chore than a pleasure. Make sure to always swallow something every single day or you could end up having major problems later trying to relearn to eat and drink. Try to force yourself to eat all your favorites now and then have seconds. It would be a good idea to try to add a couple pounds as most of us have lost significant amounts of weight while going thru treatments. I lost 65 pounds and that was with a PEG. Doctors like to keep a person's weight stable with zero weight loss the goal. One a daily basis, shoot for 48 oz water and 2500 calories. This is something you need every single day, dont try to skimp one day and think you will make it up the next. It rarely happens when you try to play catch up. Your body needs extra calories while fighting the cancer plus trying to sustain you during the treatments. Maintaining your weight can become a difficult task but if you can do it then you may get thru it easier than most of us.

Talk with your nurse and ask about mouth stretching exercises to do daily. Another helpful plan would be to talk with a nutritionist. They can help critique your diet and make sure its balanced.

As far as exercises go, if you feel like you can do it then go for it! There are a few of the guys here who are very smart about this kind of thing. Im sure they will be able to give you some tips.
