Hi @Nannychrissy and welcome to the forum. You have definitely had your share of troubles but am pleased to hear your cancer is in remission.
You could try marching exercises either seated or standing (holding on to something), ans some sit to stands which will help build strength in your legs.
In addition to what Simon has posted above you could try asking your GP to refer you to a physio.
I wish you all the best & hope you make progress with your walking.
