Summary

This study looks at whether a simple exercise program is practical and helpful for people with non-small cell lung cancer who are getting radiation therapy, along with their family caregivers. About 40 pairs (patient and caregiver) will take part. The goal is to see if exercising together can improve quality of life for both.
