Thank you for addressing this topic. Estrogen blockers, eg anastrozole, are standard treatment for estrogen receptor pos tumors (as well as low T protocols), but even with trainer guided strength training, ie Exercise,Inc, weight loss, prehab and rehab, hormone blocking moved my dexa into osteoporosis, which was demoralizing. Balance exercises are key when this is the case, to minimize falls. Excellent treatment of topic!
A fantastic interview with such important information. Thanks, Margaret, for providing and presenting this. And do let us know when Professor Newton's book for non-medical folks becomes available. I will be passing this along to friends that will benefit from the information.
Thank you. Professor Newton's new book on Exercise Medicine for Cancer will be published shortly. If you or someone you know has cancer, go to this page to sign up. His staff will happily notify you of its release. myexercisemedicine.net/mem-4-cancer-book/
This is so interesting. Regarding doing exercises specific to the area, it is really difficult to figure out how to do upper body and chest workouts after biopsy and surgery like a lumpectomy or other types. Even when you are active pre surgery and treatment, it is really hard to figure out what to during and after. I wish every cancer center had a fitness area and programs.
Many hospitals and cancer centers are adding exercise clinics and employing clinical exercise physiologists and physical therapists to assess and prescribe exercise medicine for people with cancer.
My special guest, Professor Robert Newton, provides clear guidance on the best type and timing of exercise for each stage cancer.

Very interesting Margaret. A targetted exercise program might help with my CLL especially now i have daily chemo pills. I am considering their online consult.
