Exercise increases cancer survival Cycling, General Health, My MCL

From the Telegraph in the UK
Men who do 30 minutes of moderate exercise a day have a 34 per cent lower chance of being killed by cancer than those who do not, according to scientists.
See, I knew there was a logical explanation for my 6 plus years of treatment free cancer survival. It’s all that damn bike riding I do. (Read the entire article.)
Now if I can only come across an article equating an increased cancer survival rate with not cutting your hair, I may just end up living forever. 
Oh well, the sun is almost out now, so I’d better start getting ready for todays ride. I may even go for a little longer ride than originally planned.

Hi Mark,
I’m sure exercise is good to health, i am at the end of my first treatment (R-CHOP R-DHA and Auto Stem cell transplant and my Pet scan is OK.
I quite never stopped working at home, with moderation exept 3 months after the transplantation.
Keep riding bikes!

R-DHA? Hadn’t heard of that.
Anyways, it’s good to know you’re doing good.
Keep exercising!
While I’m quite happy for you men folk, I’m silently seething that statistics are always performed on men first.
My gawd, I’m turning into YOU!
Now it’s you and Hillary and the sexist thing!
You know men rule the world. Get used to it.
Hi all,
From cancerbackup, DHAP is named after the drugs that are used in the treatment. This includes dexamethasone, which is a steroid, and the chemotherapy drugs:
* cytarabine, which is sometimes called Ara C
* cisplatin, which contains platinum.
R-DHAP also includes the monoclonal antibody drug rituximab (Mabthera®).
My personnal treatment was without P (Cisplatine) So it is R-DHA
I feel good, i hope the same for you all.
