Welcome @FalseyKa an interesting question which perhaps you need to ask your medical team as we are all unique beings with individual medical histories.
Please do let us know how you get on and look after and be very kind to yourself.

I echo what @Erica has said and speak to your medical team regarding changes and experiences since diagnosis.
Keeping a healthy weight is never a bad thing cancer or no cancer but while on treatment I’ve been a regular gym goer but my treatment proved to be cancelling any gains from the gym as many treatments have a side effect of gaining weight.
Keeping your mind active and getting in an active routine to fight the fatigue will ultimately do you wonders but don’t be downbeat if your body wants you to slow down
