| Description: |
Living Strong, Living Well is a small group program designed for adult cancer survivors who have recently become de-conditioned or chronically fatigued from their treatment and/or disease. Our goal is to help patients build muscle mass and muscle strength, increase flexibility and endurance, and improve functional ability. Additional goals include reducing the severity of therapy side effects, preventing unwanted weight changes, and improving energy levels and self esteem. A final goal of the program is to assist participants in developing their own physical fitness program so they can continue to practice a healthy lifestyle as a part of their recovery and as a way of life. |
| Eligibility: |
Adult cancer patients who have completed their cancer treatments. |
| Procedures: |
The program consists of two eight week sessions. The program is without cost to participants. The program is running in six YMCAs from San Jose to San Mateo. The YMCA will provide the facility and the equipment. |
