Re: Cancer-related fatigue can be helped by aerobic exercise
I still road my mountain bike during chemo, I would take the week off right after chemo and then ride the next two weeks. I kept my HR under 160, didn't ride anything technical, had to watch not to get scratched by bushes and such but mentally and physcially it helped so much. Sometimes giving me time to reflect when I was out on the trails other times proving that cancer was not going to take away the things I enjoyed the most.
