in Colorectal Cancer #1
My wife and I have just joined this lifestyle study of cancer patients.

I get off chemo the week study applications finish. Just made it.

Its focusing on diet , exercise and some other bits and pieces.
The part I like is the resistance training. Its going to force me to workout more.

I explained my healthy approach so far, the co-ordinator had no issues.
Currently what I am doing exceeds their guidelines, but I still fit the criteria.

Its run by our Cancer council council, so its pretty well hooked into main stream western medicine.

I wonder why they are running this study ?? and spending all that money.
does anyone think this is a waste of time and money ?

Soon, maybe they will have a trial that may prod the couch potatoes off the couches around the world. I firmly believe I have to get my arse moving to save it. guess what now cancer professionals are trying to prove what I already believe.

Will this study, another one motivate anyone ? who knows.

I will post more details on it, anyone from sydney can apply, so PM me if your from
sydney and want to help improve our standard of care.

Doing something positive for science, medicine and myself.

This is not a setup. I walked into the ONC office today, its on the wall.
Called the stduy and just got enrolled.
How about co-incidences in life. Just amazing.

Yours in health,

Pete

    Dearest winter
    I love your name winter Marie, it reminds me our winter is coming, so soon.

    I would not try to force anyone off the couch.

    I have been thinking that hassling the couch is cruel. it will get lonely and depressed.

    Maybe what we need is just more couch exercise, if you know what I mean.

    I will ask my wife what she thinks about this.

    But if you do leave the couch behind , I hope your non couch adventures are fun and enjoyable. At least as good as your couch adventures. I wonder if my subtle message has been lost in the translation.

    We could become the healthiest board on the csn site. Now that would be fantastic.

    whats the point of beating colorectal and succumbing to our other western health joys.
