## Exercise Is Medicine: Cancer Care
* Introduction to movement as a powerful additional medicine alongside chemotherapy and radiation.
* The central idea: Exercise is a real medical treatment, not just supportive care.

## Scientific Evidence
* **Stout et al. (2017):** A systematic review showing exercise is safe at all stages. It improves quality of life, reduces fatigue, pain, and lymphedema.
* **Bai et al. (2025):** Umbrella review of 80 RCTs proving exercise reduces heart damage, nerve damage, and brain fog.

## Clinical Frameworks
* **The EXACT Framework (Courneya, 2022):** 9 specific scenarios for 'Exercise as Cancer Treatment.' It prescribes movement based on the patient's specific stage of disease.

## Holistic View and Action
* Connection between daily habits and healing, drawing parallels to 'The Geography of Bliss' by Eric Weiner.
* Call to action: Integrating walking, lifting, or stretching to support recovery and future health.
