DID YOU KNOW?
There is lots of evidence that physical activity can help at all stages of a cancer journey, from pre-treatment, to during and after treatment too. Being physically active helps to improve cancer-related fatigue, anxiety and depression, as well as being an important way to protect the heart, lungs and bones. In some cases, being physically active has also been shown to slow the progression of cancer, improve survival and reduce the chance of cancer reoccurring.
