💪 Exercise & Cancer: Why Movement Matters

Research shows that gentle, regular movement helps at every stage of cancer.

• During treatment: reduces fatigue and supports energy, mood, and daily function (ASCO, 2022; Patel et al., 2025)
• After treatment: helps rebuild strength and reduces long-lasting fatigue (Campbell et al., 2019; Chen et al., 2025)
• In remission: linked to lower risk of recurrence and longer survival, especially in colon cancer survivors (Courneya et al., 2025)
• Immune support: regular, moderate exercise helps regulate inflammation and supports immune function, which is important during and after cancer treatment (Campbell et al., 2019; Dethlefsen et al., 2017)

🚶‍♀️ Walking, light strength training, and gentle movement all count.
✨ Even small amounts make a difference—avoid inactivity and listen to your body.

💙 Always talk with your care team about what’s right for you.
