Dad is 70.. always been physically active his whole life.. plus, loves to socialize.. and yes, have the odd cocktail.. ok, question - he will be having 6 months of chemo treatments.. every 2 weeks..starting soon. He asked me this today.. would he be able to still exercise?.. I am no doctor, but I guess he was just curious....as I know people who have had cancer. I had no answer...as I understand ..some people get through chemo..relatively ok..and some have a real hard time. plus a side effect is that you tire out fast. Any input about this? He belongs to a exercise facility... and even after recovering from his colan surgery...has already started back to the gym..
Has anyone out there.. in this age group area.. continued or desired to.. exercise during chemo treatments?.. Any information..would be helpful. Also, Can a person enjoy the odd cocktail.. during this period or will that mix with the chemo medication?.Thanks..Chris
