Exercise Therapy for the Cancer Patient

With over 10 million survivors in the U.S. alone, cancer is no longer necessarily seen as a fatal disease--but as one that is either curable or, like heart disease and diabetes, manageable as a chronic condition. This guide will help patients, regardless of type of cancer, regain lost physical and psychological functions. Conditions such as fatigue, loss of strength, and depression are all too common to many cancers. Indeed, it is often not the cancer itself but the treatment and the inactivity that follows, that affects the afflicted individual.
