Increase your survival odds by creating and following an
exercise program that counteracts the side effects of your
treatment, speeds your recovery, and reduces your risk of
recurrence.
Most cancer patients and survivors think that "rest" will
decrease their fatigue and speed their recovery. But in fact, rest
can make patients weak and debilitated during treatment and may
prolong hospitalization. Based on Dr. Anna Schwartz''s research and
her life''s work as a nurse and a coach, Cancer Fitness
offers cancer patients and survivors comprehensive advice and an
easy step-by-step program to begin improving their physical and
emotional health and reclaiming their lives beyond cancer.
Through exercise, patients will regain some control over their
body, manage side effects more successfully, and increase their
body''s ability to heal. Cancer Fitness provides clear
directions to safely start an exercise program, and the tools to
make exercise a long-lasting lifestyle change to heal body and
soul.
