Exercise during chemo help shrink tumour

layle

I just wanted to share an article I ran into. Researchers did an experiment with mice and it resulted the group of mice that did exercise during chemo with doxorubicin had reduced tumor size.

Here is the link, http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2762139/...

Whether it's true or not, I wish I would have ran into this article sooner. After my 3rd AC treatment, my tumor did NOT shrink at all, yikes. I did not do any exercise prior either. I'm now starting on my 4th AC and am now walking 45 minutes a day, we'll see how that goes.

Anyone else did neoajuvant with tumour not shrinking? Or not until towards the end?

Hi There, I didn't have neoadjuvant chemo, so I can't speak to tumor shrinking, but know that exercise during chemo DEFINITELY helped mentally! You will probably feel so much better if you keep your walking regime up... best wishes for the end of your chemo!!!
