Fatigue is one of the most debilitating side effects for people living with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) but movement can be powerful 💗

In our AREA study at Breast Cancer Research Centre WA, patients with MBC experiencing fatigue completed a 6-week physiotherapist-led exercise program 🧘‍♀️Two-thirds reported significant improvements in fatigue-related quality of life 🌻 along with better emotional, physical and overall wellbeing compared to controls.

We strongly encourage people living with metastatic breast cancer to consider participating in a guided exercise program, in consultation with their care team. Movement matters 🤸‍♀️ even during treatment.
