Welcome John,

I laughed at Cheryl's response that said, "Most men think their tough" lol. I thought I was, and chemo brought be to my knees, literally, for the 10 count after 5 days. I just dropped, and couldn't believe it with legs that were strong, was fit, and been a gym rat, exercise buff since I was 15, and all my employment required me sometimes be physical, and physically imposing, besides smart lol. and was somewhat was at 5'10" between 210-275lbs depending on my exercise routines. Anyway, maybe it helped me to recover, which is almost 5 years now , but it didn't do any good for my adverse reaction to chemo or whatever. In fact, during my week of high dose induction chemo, which is like 5x that of regular chemo, I was exercising in my room, walking the halls, and was able to walk out of the hospital on my own, barely, on the 6th day with my large duffle bag, and kept saying to myself, "Walk like a Man." from a Bruce Springsteen song.

I had suffered septic shock, sepsis, amongst many others, which hospitalized me for 6 months, and I'm still trying to figure out what happened if was reaction to certain vaccines, medication, interaction with other medications, exposure to viruses, etc. I'm more concerned with these now, and knowledge, rather than exercising during treatment. If so, one should protect themselves and limit your exposures in public.

Cancer is like any crisis, you prepare for the moment mentally, physically, get armed with knowledge, and during battle you fight, in our world it's either with surgery, radiation, Chemoradiation or combination thereof, and make necessary adjustments during, wether it be chemically, nutritionally, etc., then after battle you recover, review, learn, improve, and prep for the future.

Good luck
