Intervention Arm exercise intervention: 3 phases Phase 1: Intensive intervention for 6 months Phase 2: Reduced intervention for months 6-12 Phase 3: Minimal intervention for months 12-36 counseling intervention: Achieving an increase in PA from baseline of ≥ 10 MET hours/week will require a significant amount of behavioural support. The intervention will comprise a 36-month individualized PA and behavioural support program with a PAC. This will include a personalized PA prescription which takes into account the baseline fitness test results, PA history, performance status and patient's personal PA preferences and any barriers to activity. Most patients are likely to choose a walking program however any PA of at least moderate intensity level is acceptable. educational intervention: Once at the beginning of the program laboratory biomarker analysis: Every 12 months questionnaire administration: Every 6 months study of socioeconomic and demographic variables: Every 6 months fatigue assessment and management: Every 6 months quality-of-life assessment: Every 6 months Fitness testing: Objective fitness testing for both arms
