After listening to the exercise oncologist Dr. Newton, I now understand this exercise therapy is adjunctive to traditional treatments, not a substitute. He made no outlandish claims of reversing or curing. As far as living longer he cautioned that was not studied p/determined in his research. The benefits of exercising is to amplify the immune response, slow down progression, Tolerate treatment better and to improve the quality of life. I’ve been a gyn rat from way back and this gives extra impetus to continue.

I work out pretty hard for at least and hour 4 to 5 times a week on a treadmill and with weights. I had to lower my exercise level once I started Lupron because of joint and muscle aches. Now 7 months after my last Lupron injection I am starting to see a little drop in side effects,
