In November 2015 I had a radical prostatectomy to remove my prostate gland
which had become cancerous. After that I had radiation treatments 5 days a week
for 6 weeks because the cancer had spread to my seminal vesicles. Fortunately,
my lymph nodes had no cancer, indicating that the cancer had not metastasized
to other parts of my body. I was lucky.
I trained for my surgery like I would have trained for a triathalon. I knew that
being in shape would hasten my recovery and I was right. The doctors were
delighted with my recovery and encouraged me to continue exercising.
After this experience I became certified as an ASCM/ACS Cancer Exercise
Specialist. The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) and American
Cancer Society (ACS) developed this program because scientific evidence
indicates that exercise helps to prevent and control cancer. This is especially
true of breast cancer. ASCM has also reported that exercise is SAFE during
and after most types of cancer treatment. Exercise may also help patients to
manage the side effects of treatment and to tolerate treatment better.
My goal is to empower you to help yourself. If you are a cancer survivor and want to live a better life through exercise, contact me anytime at 315-559-1662.
