A rapport by Macmillan Cancer Support has shown that cancer patients stand a better chance of full recovery after a cancer as well as an easier time dealing with the treatments if they exercise 2 and a half to three hours a week. Exercise makes your body stronger and more able to cope with Cancer and the treatments but also releases endorphins and cortisol in your blood stream, those are natural pain killers!
Chemotherapy leads to fatigue and mood drops, this can mean losing the will to fight and even to live. Being active does not only mean physically but also mentally. By staying active physically your mood gets better and more positive, positivity means a better chance to overcome your cancer as you will be more ready, more receptive to treatments.
Everyone should be active and keep fit but this is even more important when fighting cancer, your body needs to be strong to go through the treatments, cancer pains and sometimes surgical pains. In the case of breast cancer for example where a breast has been removed exercise is even more important at the upper body level such as the shoulders to allow for proper healing but also because breast cancer has a psychological impact when it comes to losing a breast for a woman the scaring is not only physical but also emotional. Some have said they did not feel like a woman anymore, clearly something you don't get from some random tumour being removed, this is something very unique to breast cancer and mastectomy (surgical removal of one or both breasts). Any physical activity that you like will have a double effect of elevating your mood as pleasure also releases endorphins and cortisol throughout your body.
Get a family member to exercise with you a few times a week, anything from a brisk walk to running or going to the gym, whatever you condition permits as per your doctor's recommendations. It is said that 2 and a half to 3 hours of exercise a week is enough to see a noticeable difference and to speed up recovery!
Exercise your mind! When dealing with any illness where you are stuck in bed during treatments the first thing that you notice other than your physical state is how bored you can be. To elevate your mood challenge your mind when you can with puzzles, memory games and friendly conversation with the people around you. If you can cheer up the people around you will also feel better from the natural pain killers our body produces when you have fun. Try always being ahead of the cancer by visualizing recovery and the different steps to get there. As you do this you are telling your mind and body what is to come, that it needs to heal. Why let the doctors do all the work?
