To participate on a cancer research study to improve your recovery and outcomes after cancer with exercise…

The university called me to ask if I had been doing any exercise since cancer treatment…

I told them what I did during chemo and what I have been doing since then.

They are trying to scientifically prove that people have much better chances to recover quicker and better if they exercise during cancer treatment and after treatment….

I explained to her that in 2018 I was never told to exercise…or to change my diet…

or to do anything else other than turn up to chemo.

When I look back at my journey….

How much research I did…

How much I studied about health, diet, exercise and you name it…

I see someone who wanted to redefine what it was possible….

I was told to do what I could…

To eat what I felt like….

You can’t change your body, mind and life with the habits that got you where you are in the first place…To change, you need to create new habits.
