Brief Summary
Every year, almost 3000 Norwegian women are diagnosed with breast cancer. Various symptoms of short-and long-term side effects may be experienced, such as physical deterioration, reduced quality of life and fatigue. At St.Olavs Hospital, Trondheim University Hospital, all out-patients undergoing post operative radiotherapy are currently offered participation in group exercise training sessions. The main purpose of this study is to evaluate these out-patient group exercise sessions.
