Cancer diagnosis and treatment doesn't have to be a passive experience, and it shouldn't be. Dr. Kathryn Schmitz's Moving Through Cancer introduces a 21-day program of strength training and exercise for cancer prevention and recovery.
- Withstand chemotherapy (or other drug treatments) or radiation with fewer side effects
- Bounce back to daily life following cancer treatments
- Prevent loss of function or fitness due to treatment
- Return to work more quickly or stay at work throughout treatment
- Protect against late side effects of treatment that come years after diagnosis
