The last twelve months of my six-year cancer survivorship have been a relief. Testing is now only once per year, which really reduces my anxiety!

I have stopped thinking so much about cancer, and started feeling more like “myself”. I started to just be another middle-aged woman wishing she was a little younger looking than she is. I have started to just let all the worries go.

I think that there is increasing awareness in the medical field that helping cancer survivors to exercise has many benefits. Commonly, I see the “stay active” theme at cancer survivor events now. Friends, this trend in cancer survivorship makes me very happy. I hope there are many more local programs and resources where people can work together to enjoy exercise in their lives as cancer survivors.

The best reason to exercise is to try to help save your own life. It’s sooo good for you. The second best reason might be because it’s fun!
