Total recovery possible with new lifestyle?

Page last modified on: August 15, 2008
Question from sweety: With the right diet, exercise and so on after treatment, is it possible to recover totally?
Answers —Ronda Gates, M.S., R.Ph.: I have many people in my fitness classes who are totally recovered, back to 100 percent plus more, because their appreciation for life is heightened, and their lifestyle approach is enhanced and exemplary. These people are living life better than other friends who haven't been challenged by breast cancer.
Marisa Weiss, M.D., president and founder: Be aware that recovery takes time. Some days you'll make great progress, and other days you may feel like you are drifting backwards.
Ronda Gates, M.S., R.Ph.: And a bad day can come out of the blue, the same way it does for people who have had any physical or emotional challenge.
