Summary: Years ago, cancer patients were told to limit physical activity and rest, but new research shows that exercise is the way to go. Dr. Pamela Hansen is the medical director at the <a href="http://healthcare.utah.edu/huntsmancancerinstitute/patient-care/clinics-and-care-teams/wellness-survivorship-center/">Wellness and Survivorship Center</a> at Huntsman Cancer Institute, and she has seen many patients transform after they begin exercise programs. She says exercise not only helps with physical health, but with the depression, anxiety, fatigue and chronic pain often experienced by cancer patients. In this podcast, she talks about what exercises are best for cancer patients and other tips for being active while you’re being treated or recovering.
