I don't know what stats they have on the research at ECU featured on this website in an article some time back..maybe they are good stats and maybe the stories you hear of people fit as a fiddle having a recurrence are word of mouth and not measured research wise? That could be one slant. The other is that cancer doesn't discriminate between fitness fanatics and junk food eaters ... I am starting to think this is maybe true - but basing my thoughts on stories I hear from people. Again, I guess you can only do your best and cross fingers. I am not an exercise person...like to swim in the pool but not an athlete, just enjoy a few laps. I do find if I force myself to get up and do a small walk or a visit to the beach I do feel better. But this is also prescribed for depression, of which I suffer. Meanwhile a friend post bowel cancer is doing 10km walks a day and then goes to the gym! He is old school and has always been fit ... motto is go hard or go home. I know I need more rest at this point and if anything a little wander here and there and maybe go back to regenerative yoga. The old school approach just doesn't suit me.
