AFTER
DIAGNOSIS
A
fer a cancer diagnosis,
healthy lifestyle choices,
which up to that point
may have seemed merely
worthwhile advice for the future,
can quickly become a signif-
cant priority in the present. As
patients progress through treat-
ment and enter recovery, ques-
tions about diet, exercise and
mental health ofen arise: How
much sugar is healthy? Can I still
have a glass of wine with dinner?
Will exercise make a diference in
my long-term prognosis? What
will my life look like now?
Education can empower survivors to
make healthy lifestyle choices.
