Preparing yourself for cancer treatment
Prehabilitation (prehab) is the time you have before your cancer treatment starts. It is an opportunity for you to focus on your health and wellbeing and a chance to get stronger and fitter as you prepare for your treatment.
Prehab covers three main parts of your health:
- Diet and nutrition
- Physical activity
- Emotional wellbeing
Quitting smoking, cutting down on alcohol consumption and learning how to cope with tiredness will also help while you are being treated.
