Cancer diagnosis and treatment doesn't have to be a passive
experience, and it shouldn't be. Dr. Kathryn Schmitz's Moving
Through Cancer introduces a 21-day program of strength training and
exercise for cancer prevention and recovery. Go from diagnosis to
thriving with this empowering guide to using strength training and
exercise to improve your mental and physical health before, during,
and after cancer diagnosis and treatment. This groundbreaking
program will show you how to use exercise and movement to: Recover
more quickly from surgery Withstand chemotherapy (or other drug
treatments) or radiation with fewer side effects Bounce back to
daily life following cancer treatments Prevent loss of function or
fitness due to treatment Return to work more quickly or stay at
work throughout treatment Protect against late side effects of
treatment that come years after diagnosis Leading exercise oncology
researcher Dr. Kathryn Schmitz shows you how to prepare for cancer
treatment and begin regularly exercising in just 21 days using five
key steps: Move, Lift, Eat, Sleep, and Log. Both informative and
practical, Moving Through Cancer explains the science of healing
and prevention and delivers a paradigm-shifting message for
patients, doctors, and caregivers about using exercise to live with
and beyond cancer. FOR READERS OF: Anticancer Living and The
Cancer-Fighting Kitchen. A PRACTITIONER AND CAREGIVER: Dr. Kathryn
Schmitz is a pracademic (practitioner + academic) and a caregiver:
In 2010, the publication of one of her trials in The New England
Journal of Medicine and the Journal of the American Medical
Association overturned years of entrenched dogma and conventional
wisdom that told breast cancer survivors to avoid upper body
exercise. In 2016, Dr. Schmitz's wife, Sara, was diagnosed with
stage 3 squamous cell carcinoma-she is currently NED (no evidence
of disease) and cancer free. Moving Through Cancer is inspired by
Dr. Schmitz's professional and personal experience with cancer.
HELPS PATIENTS AND CAREGIVERS TO COMBAT THE POWERLESSNESS OF THE
CANCER JOURNEY: Dr. Schmitz's empowering message will not only
resonate with anyone who has been diagnosed with cancer but with
their family and loved ones as well. Dr. Schmitz is able to give
life back to readers by providing results that include better
sleep, better sex, less chemo brain, reduced nausea, and improved
recovery. PARADIGM-SHIFTING PROTOCOL: Moving Through Cancer is the
center of Dr. Schmitz's campaign to have doctors prescribing
exercise to cancer patients as common practice by 2029. THE FIRST
MAINSTREAM EXERCISE-FOR-CANCER BOOK: Until now, exercise-for-cancer
books have been limited to academic approaches or
one-cancer-specific (breast) or one-exercise specific (yoga,
pilates) books. Moving Through Cancer is for all cancer patients
and survivors and their caregivers. GREAT FOR THE CLASSROOM:
Students and teachers will want to use these techniques in their
classrooms to provide a better understanding of how to treat cancer
patients. Perfect for: 18+, Health enthusiasts, rehab, exercise,
academia, medical professionals
