So I got my first runs in today and realized I can't hit any of the features at my hill without falling. I just want to know if any body knows goods exercises to get strength up mostly in my legs (I'm already seeing physical therapy).

 
Running really helps. Legs and cardio. But if your coming of chemo, it wouldn't hurt to see a physical trainer, they really do help quite a bit. And not just with exercise, they can help your diet regimen, etc. That's what I'd recomend. Stay strong though, a friend was just ending his chemo at the beginning of this year. Mad respect.
 
studies have shown that creatine suppplementation in chemo patients as well as Aids patients has resulted in increased strength and ability to gain muscle mass.

It is extrememly helpful to supplement with it, along with a simple training program. sounds like you are literally starting from square one, so i would suggest just using a stationary bike to get your cardio system back in shape and build some strength back in your legs.
 
Run a ton! My mom got done with her chemo about 6 months ago and shes back out running 5 miles a day with my dog each morning. Just start running a mile or so a day or however much you feel comfortable with and work your way up!
