How to know what exercises are fun for an 11 year old that just received chemotherapy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Walking: It depends on what are platelet and neutrophil counts(anc) are. Please ask his nurse or oncologist your question. In general i would recommend walking in uncrowded area, stationaly biking, badmington, or non-competitive table tennis. If outdoor, put sunscreen on. I would not recommend contact sports. Depending on the phase of chemotherapy, type of exercise may change, so it is important to ask.
