After clearance from your doc you will want to start slow and steady...an organized class would be great ..... if not , any exercise that increases blood flow is good.. no specific one....best of luck👍

Janlanderz - What type of exercise did you do before your diagnosis? As a retired personal trainer and a stage iv nsclc patient, that would be my first question to you!

Unless your doctor specifically says not to, I would recommend something outdoors. During treatment, we spend way too much time indoors. Getting out and noticing all that nature has to offer is good for the spirit. Walking is a great start, and I would recommend body weight exercises. Not sure of your conditioning or what you used to do, but there are senior classes that are chair exercises which are generally body weight or light weights. I’d move as much as your body allows. Wishing you well!
