About this ebook
Exercising after a cancer diagnosis can help people to feel better in many ways – stronger, calmer, less fatigued and more in control. Beyond this there is compelling evidence linking physical activity with improved outcomes. The risk of recurrence is lower, and ongoing treatment can often be better tolerated. It’s not easy, however, to exercise when you’re living with the myriad side effects of treatment, even though being active has been proven to help reduce them. This book offers practical information on safe, effective and appropriate exercise for anybody who has received a diagnosis of cancer, including those undergoing active treatment and those living with advanced cancer. It aims to support people to be active in whatever way they feel ready for and is written by a highly experienced cancer exercise specialist who has also had her own experience of cancer: while she was writing this book she was diagnosed with breast cancer herself. The book includes her approach to her own ‘prehab’ and ‘rehab’ along with the experiences of some of the people she has trained over the years.
