@jvertalka- Good morning and welcome to Connect! I took this program a long time ago and it was excellent then. Maybe others on this site have tried it and know more than I do if the present program is excellent too.
What cancer are you recovering from?

I have Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, for which I am on a continuing daily dose of a targeted therapy (Imbruvica). One side effect of this drug is muscle spasms, which get me up and jumping around 3-4 times a night. Before this cancer I had several brain surgeries for an unrelated tumor, and those left me with serious balance issues. So I'm looking to improve my balance, fight fatigue, and improve strength.
