Moving Through Cancer
Staying active helps patients continue engaging in the regular activities of daily life. Aerobic exercise helps strengthen the heart and lungs. Resistance exercise strengthens the muscles. Benefits include less stress, fatigue and anxiety; increased flexibility and balance.
Women with breast or GYN cancer are encouraged to join some type of support group.
Having cancer is often one of the most stressful experiences in a person's life. But support groups help many people cope with the emotional aspects of cancer. These are opportunities to meet others who are walking the same journey and share feelings, challenges and triumphs in a safe, secure environment.
No matter your age, stage of cancer or stage of treatment, all are welcome to attend any of our groups.
