Case study on benefits of exercise for asbestos patients

Yahoo News has reported on a case study done by Duke University concerning the benefits of exercise for someone who has had surgery for asbestos-related cancer.

Prior to the study, John Smith (name changed to protect identity) knew he needed to exercise but was unable to form a habit. His work schedule often prevented him from going to the gym regularly.

But after he was diagnosed with cancer and had surgery, the Duke research team approached him about the research study, and he decided to participate.

According to John, "before I participated in this study, I struggled with walking in the neighborhood with my wife. Now, I exercise five days a week. It's become a habit. Exercising has helped me get my strength back, and I'm so thankful for that."
