That was my last til I got better. I did not have a PEG tube ( my choice) and I had to replace every calorie I burned plus my target every day which was 2500-3000. I have seen some here say to keep working out but i couldn't. I did really well during tx because I was in good shape. As an athlete you know your body so I would say do what the doc blesses and rest when you're tired.
You can do this.
