6 months post chemo

I'm looking for advice on what exercise I can do 6 month post chemo. I was fairly fit pre treatment and looking for advice from others who have been through it and regained their fitness.

I haven’t been through chemo but I would probably approach it like any other return to exercise following illness. If you have any lasting effects from surgery/chemo probably speak with your nurse specialist. If not I would build up slowly, listen to my body and not do too much too soon.

I was very fit a few years ago but then required several surgeries and steroids etc over an 18 month period. I got back to exercise a few months ago through couch to 5k and have built up to regularly running 5-12k (slowly) and added in some Pilates and strength training recently.

I’m soon to finish chemo and was wondering how you got on with a return to fitness plan.
