Did you mean "CDC" or "The Lancet" re Women, Power and Cancer? See here:

Excellent catch, Catherine. Thank you so much for pointing that out (and for reading until the end.) I will edit to correct.

Hey Mica. Great question.

Cancer rehabilitation is a broad term that describes programs that help patients recover- physically, emotionally, and mentally -- from cancer treatment. Often this includes evidence-based practices like strength training to improve muscle mass and flexibility that is lost during treatment, classes to learn about dietary changes for cancer prevention and sessions with counselors or other specialists to learn about mindfulness and other strategies to cope with life after cancer.

The most well-known program in the US is LiveStrong at the YMCA. https://www.ymca.org/what-we-do/healthy-living/fitness/livestrong

Thank you for reading and for asking!
