Hi @Cate64 @angg66, @Hello5678
and any other Melbourne based members with metastatic disease interested in
exercise programs. I have spoken to Eva at EX-MED and she is keen for you to
contact to the EX-MED Cancer Hub on (03) 9230 8728 to discuss your personal situation.
Due to funding limits, the study is able to include people having hormone therapy, Herceptin and PARP inhibitors but not chemotherapy.
EX-MED is committed to extend the service to everyone regardless of stage of cancer, type of treatment and level of activity and they are working to secure funding for this. In the meantime they can link you with an exercise physiologist who is skilled at working with people with cancer. Exercise physiologists can be accessed through the Chronic Disease Management Plan via your GP. For more information on exercise programs available in each state, link to the BCNA website Exercise programs
