Exercise and activity is criticalduring and after chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation treatments for cancer. Why? Because, -for the cancer patient and survivor, rest is notrestorative- – the body responds to physical activity in a way that helpscombat fatigue, nausea, stiffness, and a host of other side effects common tocancer treatment. At the sametime, maintaining an active lifestyle isn't just important - it's a way to -reducethe risk of cancer recurrence.
