THERE IS A SHORT SUMMARY ONLY OF THIS TOPIC ON THIS PAGE. HOWEVER, YOU CAN LINK HERE TO AN EXTERNAL WEBSITE WITH MUCH MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THIS TOPIC.
When you think about how different we all are and how many different types of cancer and treatments there are, it is difficult to
write exercise guidelines to cover everyone. In general, cancer patients should check with their doctors before starting any type
of exercise. There aren't any general UK guidelines about exercising after cancer. However, several studies have shown that
exercise is safe, possible and helpful for many people with cancer.
