You Can Thrive After Breast Cancer
Even after a traumatizing diagnosis and treatments that may have harmful side effects, You Can Thrive!
You Can Thrive! Foundation Has begun a program to provide meditation, and ecstatic movement classes for breast cancer survivors.
Researchers at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center have shown that breast cancer patients who participate in a yoga program during treatment have improved quality of life, compared to patients who do not. The study, presented at the 42nd annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology by Lorenzo Cohen, Ph.D., associate professor and director of the Integrative Medicine Program at M. D. Anderson. "Cancer and its treatments are associated with considerable distress, impaired quality of life and reduced physical function. This is particularly true for women with breast cancer who receive multi-modality treatment over an extended period of time," Cohen says. "With our studies, we think that we could help ameliorate the treatment-related side effects that accumulate in cancer patients over time."
