George, I just had first round of chemo this Thursday& Friday. went walking Friday & Saturday morning. I was not able to sleep Sunday but I was feeling good so I went to the gym at 3:30 am and worked out for about 80 min. did not get tired. Question is should I worry about going to gym because of Germs?
I did bring gloves and a can of disinfectant. I did feel good after it. My plan is to go early morning maybe only three times a week when feeling up for it

You need to check with your doctor to see if you are immune compromised or not. They can answer from your most recent labs. From my cancer experience, I was immune compromised initially. The doctors absolutely told me when I was not. While I was, they said to stay away from gyms along with a plethora of other places. Good for you having the energy to go to the gym! Take the opportunity to be active as you feel able. I wish you well.
