Exercise & Nutrition
Why exercise is so very important.
Did you know that exercise can reduce the risk of cancer recurrence by around 30% even after a cancer diagnosis?
Through the Pink Ladies, we offer a dedicated breast cancer fitness class once a week at Beau Sejour. You can be referred for a spot in the weekly class by speaking to Sharon at the Breast Clinic.
Can Move Class
Pink Ladies originally funded all the Can Move Classes for Cancer patients at Beau Sejour for several years, but now focus on funding the class specifically for breast cancer patients. There are currently mixed classes through the week for all cancer patients, and one on a Tuesday evening which is solely for ladies – mostly Breast Cancer, occasional Gynae patients. As well as the cardio warm up and circuits common to all classes, there are additional stretches that are beneficial post-surgery.
Referral is by GP/Oncologist, or the Breast Clinic can also refer you after surgery
Why a balanced diet is important.
Breast Cancer Now has some really useful information on their website about learning what makes up a healthy, balanced diet and how you can eat healthily during and after breast cancer treatment.
