Excellent directives. I’ve been on the cancer train for 15 years. Metastatic 5 years ago. My job is to do self care while the onco’s is to treat the disease. I forest hike up and down the mountain trails almost daily. When I worked, I would push off at dark and was at work by 9. A daily hike is restorative. So thankful I can do that. Thank you for this page of your collective wisdom and encouragement.
That is both incredible and inspiring. I have a few patients/survivors that have similar approaches, one of them just climbed a mountain in Ireland to raise money for our Cancer Center!
I loved this piece, Daniel. This article makes it clear that a personalized exercise program would be prudent to include in treating cancer holistically. I am glad you are shedding light on this subject. Many people (including myself) didn't know this before.
Thank you for providing this article for free subscribers, full of great information that could help many people. I enjoy reading your writing and look forward to more resources like this.
Great article! The cancer exercise rehab class was critical to my health during lymphoma treatment. The exercise physiologist is one of the professionals I recommend to my patients who are being treated for cancer.
Thanks RJ! I love the idea cancer pre-hab (before chemo radiation or surgery) as well as we have data on faster recovery times. Need more exercise professionals in our field.
It's a great piece Daniel, In future articles could you hyperlink your references? I appreciate the time and effort that goes into these evidence-based statements and systematic referencing and would like to click through to read the details in the abstracts (even if the full pdf isn't freely available)
E.g. Refs 3 and 4 that you've cited for 'Breast & Endometrial Cancer: Physical activity increases sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), reducing bioavailable estrogen—a key driver of hormone-dependent tumor growth.3 4'
Our family has increased risk of various cancer types, and the curious nerdy researcher in me likes to readup on these things. Thanks!

Will do, I’m getting better at the Substack format now!
Thanks, Daniel - I'll DM you a link that could signpost you to some useful resources.
