Test. Comments not working on WODs from 3 weeks back :(
It was so interesting to hear Dr. Champ's discussion on exercise and diet for cancer patients. In 2016 at the age of 55, I went through radiation treatment for breast cancer. At that time there was no discussion or offer of exercise other than yoga and diet. I'm an athletic person and have done CrossFit for 4 years by then. As mentioned in this video, my bone density started to drop from the treatment and as an athlete, I was concerned. One thing I didn't do was stop doing CrossFit and running. After my treatment, I was prescribed a drug to help with my bone density which I declined due to the side affects. I kept doing CF and running because I knew it would help along with eating healthy. Today, I am proud to say that I'm 6 years cancer free and I'm still loving my CF workouts and at 61 years of age, trying to get my first Muscle Up. It made me so happy to listen to this. Although, it wasn't a part of my treatment and recovery offered by my oncologists throughout my journey, I knew deep in my heart that functional fitness and diet would be a plus for me to age healthy and strong.
