Getting Active and Exercising
Many people believe that if you have lung cancer, you should avoid physical activity. It is reasonable to be concerned about becoming overly active and running out of breath. Staying active and engaging in mild exercise, on the other hand, has been demonstrated to help patients better tolerate, respond to, and recover from lung cancer treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery.
02
Working with Cancer
You do not have to automatically quit working if you have cancer. In fact, many people with lung cancer continue to work and are employed. But keep in mind that everyone is unique. One person with lung cancer may be able to work full-time, while another may require time away from work.
03
Eating Well
Loss of appetite and weight loss are especially prominent in persons with lung cancer. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including the disease itself, your therapy or medicine, or stress or anxiety.
