Is this a stupid question? I feel that I am always finding something to worry about! Having recently joined a gym with yoga and pilates exercice classes, I am started to get worried about coments about exercises which increase the lymph flow, and wonder if it might also increase the chance of my cancer spreading through the lymph system. My recent PET scan indicated nodal activity in the right neck extending via supraclavicular fossa to axilla and in a left internal mammary node, and in a solitary node behind the pancreatic neck. The PET scan also found evidence of bony metastatic disease.
No question is stupid! (well maybe some are…but not yours!)
I wouldn’t have thought exercse would spread cancer but why not ask your onc…
best wishes

I would be interested in the answer - I had similar lymph node spread and often wondered whether it was increased by the Ginseng that I took and exercise I did to try and counteract the fatigue that I was suffering (only real symptom of BC that I had)

CAn’t really give you a proper answer to your question but just wanted to say that LACK of exercise doesn’t seem to have stopped my cancer progressing!
