Why did you join UW WELL-FIT?
I was introduced to UW WELL-FIT by a friend who had been through the program and found it to be a tremendous help in regaining strength and mobility.
How has the program helped you recover after treatment?
After chemotherapy and radiation my stamina wasn’t the same. I just didn’t have the endurance to do all the things I once did.
Going into the program, my goal was to regain some of that lost stamina. UW WELL-FIT helped me build strength, both physically and mentally.
Being with a group of people who are going through the same things as you — being able to share thoughts and jokes — that experience is invaluable in your recovery.
What has the UW WELL-FIT experience meant to you?
UW WELL-FIT helped me get over my physical loss, but it also gave me the will to overcome.
What advice would you give those facing a similar battle?
I would encourage them to join the program and continue on as graduates. Without UW WELL-FIT it would have taken me much longer to recover.
