I started exercising at FitSTEPS for Life® just after my first chemo treatment. I could only stay on the treadmill about five minutes, then rest, and then do another five minutes. Now, after a year exercising, I do thirty minutes at one time, without stopping. The exercise has really helped me. I quit losing weight, and I continue to have a good appetite and feel good, except for a few days following a treatment.
