Exercise and prostate cancer. How much should I do? I usually go to the gym and use weights but will be having radiotherapy soon

Offline Funkie 9 hours ago

I know exercise is good for helping with cancer. I am due to have radio therapy for prostate cancer. I am a gym user and lift weights. I am prone to pushing myself too hard. I was wondering, how much exercise to take as I don't want to over do it.

Hi Funkie. I agree exercise is good for you but not overdoing things. I would think the best people to ask is your cancer care team. I certainly would give the weight lifting a miss for a while. Good luck with treatment.
