"Women with breast cancer who follow a physical exercise program during their chemotherapy treatment experience less side effects like fatigue, reduced physical fitness, nausea and pain. It is also less often necessary to adjust the dosage of their chemotherapy. This is shown by a study supervised by Neil Aaronson of the Netherlands Cancer Institute (NKI)."

    I exercised throughout my entire chemo regimen. I believe it was the #1 factor in helping me get through. I would do my chemo on Thursday, then go back to work and the gym on the Monday after.
