Summary

This study tests whether doing breathing exercises at home can help reduce heart and lung side effects in people being treated for breast, head/neck, or lung cancer. The exercises are designed to strengthen breathing muscles and may be easier than regular aerobic exercise for patients undergoing treatment. Researchers will track how well patients stick with the program and measure changes in physical function.
