One mile is a lot, post surgery. Your lung does need to heal. Please take it easier! Build up to what you usually do.

Healing takes time.

But good for you!

Wow! A mile is great post op! And yes it will tire you so please don’t get discouraged. It will take time to build your lungs back up but they will get better!!
I am done with chemo and my first CT scan looked good. My pulse ox is good before, during and after my runs. It’s harder for sure but I know with consistency it will get better 🙂
Keep doing your daily walks and listen to your body, rest when you are tired or fatigued. Best of luck in your recovery!!
