@janlanderz I’m so sorry it’s taken me so long to get back to you! I still can’t find info on the oncologist who wrote about cancer and exercise. 😞 I’ve reached
out to former co-workers with hopes that they will have better memories than me! What I have found is that you want to return to normal activity as soon as possible, exercise will boost your quality of life and reduces fatigue. One suggestion is that you look for a physical therapist who works with cancer patients and who can design a program for you. You’ll probably need a referral from your doctor. And exercise also reduces depression, but don’t hesitate to talk with your doctor about it. I, too, have depression over my illness and exercise helps me a lot. Has your doctor said anything about the DVT blood clot? Once it has resolved, exercise should be good. Please let us know how you are doing!
