Exercising after a cancer diagnosis can help people to feel better in many ways, and there is compelling evidence linking physical activity with improved outcomes. This book offers practical information on safe, effective and appropriate exercise for anybody who has received a diagnosis of cancer, including those undergoing active treatment and those living with advanced cancer. Written by a highly experienced cancer exercise specialist who has also had her own experience of cancer - while she was writing this book she was diagnosed with breast cancer herself - it includes her approach to her own ‘prehab’ and ‘rehab’ along with the experiences of some of the people she has trained over the years.
