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!

Thanks for the advice. I am in pretty good shape other than the diagnosis of stage 4 lung cancer. I do go to a light tai chi class on Wednesday's to get out of the house and a bit of exercise to.. I had also gotten a pvt blood clot in my left leg about 3 months ago and that is finally getting down to almost nothing... but now I have to be on blood thinners for life... I am still trying to be positive through it all and thanks for the well wishes.. I do go for walks once in a while to... I should go more... 🙂
