The new treatment for cancer survivors is to have an exercise motivation that can be a big help to treat their illnesses. With this new medication about cancer, it gives them more energy to overcome fatigue and stress that they are experiencing especially after their chemotherapy.
According to Dr. Wendy Demark-Wahnefried of Alabama University in Birmingham, over an annual of having this activity will help some breast cancer patient in changing of muscles and it is also the same to ten years of normal aging.
Moreover, the scientists also said that according to the research they have studied, cancer survivors that are engage in regular exercising causes them to fight against their illness and in the development of heart diseases and other major side effects of having cancer.
The American College of Sports Medicine evaluates the advantage of exercising that one patient with a cancer disease needs to have at least two and a half hour every week. Although there are points that the patients are weak and cannot do some activities like exercising, they need to do it otherwise in their leisure time.
Dr. Julia Rowland stated, cancer patients do not need to go to the gym to those stuff and they can actually do it in their house like playing golf in their backyard or walk outside with their dog.
However, some people asked about how many times the exercises are needed for one patient. The researchers are still seeking for the answer. They also think that patients that are doing the exercising treatment will probably result in improving their health. Moreover, this will also give benefits not only physically but also emotionally.
Wahnerfried also added that in the research they have made with the 641 breast cancer patients that are also overweight, most of them are undergoing exercising in their home and the result is they show improvement about their health problems.
