Sorry about the downer subject but I need guidance from someone who's been there. I've been diagnosed with non hodgkins lymphoma and just finished my last chemo treatment last week. Radiation begins in a month if everything goes on schedule. Today I went with a friend to do a bike ride and really pooped out after only 14 miles. I know I need to take it easy and let my body adjust/recover. The fitness I've developed over the last few years has really helped me deal with this illness in a way I'm sure I wouldn't be able to if I were still a couch potato. Now I haven't done any exercise in 4wks before today. Mentally, I can hardly stand sitting in the house and physically, I'm struggling if I do try to exercise

My question for anyone who has been through this or has knowledge is how soon are you able to exercise after chemo? I certainly don't expect to jump back into exercising full bore but anyone with experience/guidelines/thoughts, I'd appreciate any insight.

By the way, my prognosis is excellent. I've got a stage IA and my oncologist expects me to make a full recovery, as do I.
