IMO keep up the exercise routine up to and during the treatments if your doctor recommends it and you feel up to it. In addition to biking I also ran on a track twice a week (can’t do that anymore, Achilles tendon problems). Different people tolerate radiation treatment differently. Some are really knocked down by it, others totally unaffected. If you keep strong and power through, you’ll probably be among the latter.

@kdog1957. Tha k you for sharing your experience. Did you have a craniotomy then radiation? How did they determine you needed radiation after craniotomy?

@kdog1957 I’ve been working out three times a week and walking/hiking 5-8 miles on the other days for ten years. I’m good at powering through things and don’t want to lose strength during six weeks of radiation. Your experience is encouraging! Thank you!
