From Page 4
I'm thinking, too, of aiother kind
of knowledge, that whici comes as a
result of discovery. It can be an
"aha!" moment when the light bulb
in our heads suddenly clicks on, the
choir sings, the cymbab clash and
... we've got it, or ma>be it's not
quite that dramatic, mare of a
moment when somethng you've
never thought of befo e suddenly
reveals itself. I've had one of each -
maybe you have, too
I know you'll probably laugh (and
I'm almost ashamed to mention this)
but I was a math-challenged adult
before I realized that .25, one-fourth
and 25 percent were the same. I was
subbing for a month in a fourth-
grade classroom at the time and
asked the class if they, too, knew
this remarkable fact. Good, polite
little children that they were, they
murmured, "Um ... well ... yes
ma'am" probably wondering who in
the world had hired this strange per-
son to teach them. (They did learn
some darn good things about
English in that month, though.)
But the biggest academic discov-
ery came as I concluded work on my
masters' degree at East Carolina
University. I loved all my classes
and professors, loved the learning,
but always lurking in the back of my
mind was the knowledge that sooner
or later I was going to have to take
and pass a course in tests and mea-
surements. That meant (oh, dread)
statistics - math on steroids. I left
the class until last when it couldn't
be avoided any longer. And then on
the fourth or fifth day, lo and
behold, not only did the terms and
procedures suddenly and all at once
make sense, but I could see clearly
that (drum roll, please) math had a
point. Not only did it make sense,
but I could use it, really put it to use
on an everyday basis. What a dis-
covery.
Can you relate to this? Have you
ever had a moment where you sud-
denly discovered the truth or value
of something you'd never known or
considered before? Were you, too,
amazed?
Ah, learning and discovery and
the power of the mind - totally bog-
gling, isn't it?

it
Given these beiefits, it's
no surprise, then, chat regular
exercise can also ■educe the
risk of many different types
of cancers, including breast,
uterine, colon and pancreatic
cancers. A study from the
Dana-Farber Caicer Institute,
for example, published in the
Journal of Clirical Oncology
in 2006, reveabd that in-
creasing level? of physical
activity in cobn-cancer sur-
vivors decreased the overall
cancer-specific mortality by
30-40 perceit. And for those
actively undergoing chemo-
therapy, maiy studies have
demonstrated that exercise
leads to higher rates of
chemothertpy completion,
which is piramount in suc-
cessful caicer therapy.
Calling all couch spuds
Despite these benefits,
preliminary findings from the
National Health Interview
Survey ©veal that only 31
percent jf U.S. adults over
the age of 18 engaged in reg-
ular leisure-time physical
activity from January-June
2008. What's more interesting
is that the percentage of
adults who participated in
physical activity decreased
with age. (As defined by the
Centers for Disease Control,
"regular physical activity" is
engaging five or more times
a week for 30 minutes of
moderate, leisure-time physi-
cal activity, or three times a
week for 20 minutes of vigor-
ous activity.)
One easy method for
gauging the intensity of an
exercise session is that light
exercise generally allows you
to engage in regular conver-
sation, moderate exercise
should make you feel slightly
out of breath and vigorous
exercise should make you
breathe rapidly and break
into a sweat. Walking briskly,
for example, is considered
moderate-intensity exercise,
while light housework is con-
sidered to be light-intensity.
The cancer patient or sur-
vivor interested in starting an
exercise program faces some
unique challenges. If you're
undergoing or have just com-
pleted cancer treatments, you
may be exhausted or feel
weak - and, if you don't,
you're probably emotionally
drained.
Many of my patients have
no idea how to kick off an
exercise program, and they
often fear overexertion. Per-
haps more important, many
cancer patients or survivors
become self-conscious about
the body changes brought on
by cancer therapy, which
makes joining a conventional
fitness center unattractive.
Free exercise program
for area cancer patients
To help address the above
obstacles and concerns, the
Cancer Institute of Dallas has
partnered with the non-profit
Cancer Foundation for Life to
bring the FitSteps for Life
program to southern Dallas
County. FitSteps for Life is a
free fitness service and center
that is available to all cancer
patients and their caregivers
throughout southern Dallas
County, regardless of where
they are receiving or have
received cancer care.
The fitness center's staff is
trained specifically to work
with cancer patients, and is
trained in creating a fitness
program suited for each indi-
vidual member. They also
carefully monitor several vital
signs both before and after the
completion of each exercise
session. Making things even
easier, the center's members
can work out at any of the
other FitStep for Life loca-
tions located throughout the
greater Dallas Metroplex area.
To participate in the
FitSteps for Life program, ask
your cancer provider for a
referral or call the Dallas area
Cancer Foundation for Life
office at 972-664-0523. You
can also visit them online at
ww w. cancerfoundationforlife.

No matter what exercise
program you choose, I hope
you enjoy your exercise activi-
ties and stick to them. Once
you get in the groove, exercise
will bring you a lifetime of
benefits and enjoyment. So
start exercising now for health
and life in 2009 and beyond.
