Nancy Howe’s Cancerversary Keeps Her Moving

June 1, 2021/in NCCS News Quality Cancer Care, Survivorship Care NCCS News

My #cancerversary®, October 16, 1997, was the day I reaffirmed how important it is to listen to my body – it was also the day I finished cancer treatment. My cancer care team told me that while my prognosis wasn’t great, I was in better shape than they expected. I was diagnosed with an aggressive […]

NCCS Wellness and Survivorship Blog Series Wrap-Up

June 6, 2019/in Cancer News, Cancer Policy Blog NCCS News

Each week throughout May, NCCS published a blog post written by cancer survivors looking at the significance of physical and mental health, exercise, and nutrition during and after cancer treatment. The authors all varied in stage of life, type of cancer, and years since initial diagnosis. What they had in common however, was the passion and thoughtfulness to share their stories with the hope of helping others. We hear often from survivors and advocates […]

Running: Fuel for My Body and Soul After Cancer

May 30, 2019/in Cancer News, Cancer Policy Blog NCCS News

Being diagnosed with cancer stinks. It is a traumatic experience that will ripple through your life for years to come. For me it was no different. I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer at 31 and underwent treatment for a year, which included high doses of steroids. After almost two years of remission my cancer returned and had begun to spread to my uterus. My oncologist advised me that a hysterectomy was needed and within a few weeks […]

Moving Through and Beyond Stage IV Colorectal Cancer

May 23, 2019/in Cancer News, Cancer Policy Blog NCCS News

By Stacy Hurt, MHA, MBA. “But I’m an athlete and a non-smoker. I do everything right!” Those were my first words to the gastroenterologist who told me that the 11cm tumor in my rectum was “most likely cancer.” You would’ve thought I’d learned the whole “life isn’t fair” lesson when my son, now 13 years old, was diagnosed with a rare genetic chromosomal disorder that rendered him without the ability to walk, talk, or care for himself in any way.

Diagnosed with Cancer? Consider Living Life Like a Professional Cyclist

May 3, 2019/in Cancer News, Cancer Policy Blog NCCS News

Guest Post by Mark Corroto — I recommend those diagnosed with cancer consider living life as if they are a professional cyclist. Ok, not racing 100 miles and climbing 10,000 feet of elevation, but attending to their minds and bodies as if preparing for the Amgen Tour of California. Cyclists look for every edge they can proffer to defeat opponents. For example, World Champion Peter Sagan is said to get 9 hours of sleep a night, and many […]
