Exercises for Cancer Survivors

Completely disappointing. Misleading - exercises totally inappropriate for someone revovering from breast surgery. Would give it zero stars if I could.

an excellent, practical and useful book.

I am fortunate to not have ever had cancer but a few of my closest friends did. I gave them this book when they were recovering and they love it. Carol is a fountain of information on the subject and a wonderful human being. She has made helping cancer survivors - and women in general - her life's mission. I would recommend this book for anyone who is currently a survivor or going through the treatments, and also as a gift.

This is a great book for cancer survivors who want to be fit and healthy. It has so much important information that will be helpful to cancer patients in an easy to read style. You will learn how to strength train without getting injured. The exercises are for all fitness levels.Exercises for Cancer Survivors includes specific exercises for the different reconstructions and how to exercise if you have lymph nodes removed. In addition, there are photos with descriptions of the exercises that are appropriate for different cancers.The cancer survivor will learn how exercise can help reduce the effects of chemo and improve quality of life. This book is recommended to all cancer survivors and their caretakers.

Great book! Carol's attitude focuses on the mind as well as the body. It's so important during cancer treatment to remain positive. Her stretching exercises are very helpful to regain mobility, and the movements in general are appropriate for everyone not just those in recovery. This book emphasizes that need to feel good again after a physically debilitating and emotionally draining experience....you and feeling better really makes healing better.
