Like when someone's newly diagnosed with cancer, like what kind of treatments are they potentially looking at for these different types of cancers?

How does that complicate the role of exercise in the cancer treatment?

I've heard you say, don't take cancer lying down.

How does a patient who is newly diagnosed with cancer, who is scared, confused, how do they transform that fear into motivation to exercise?

How do they transform their fatigue into that motivation to move and exercise?

So what are some of these, you know, effects that exercise can help improve, whether we're talking about chemo tolerance, side effects, you know, improved survival?

What are some of the effects that exercise helps with?

So when it comes to the exercise type, do you think that more intense exercise is more beneficial with respect to cancer treatment and some of the at least mechanisms that may be occurring to have these beneficial outcomes?

What kind of protocols are we talking about with respect to the weight training protocol, the aerobic exercise training protocol that some of the patients in your trials have been on?

Have you ever combined the aerobic exercise with weight training and see if there's like a synergy or additive effect?

When you say high aerobic exercise versus moderate, is this guidelines like per week or what was the kind of protocol?

So I want to talk a little bit about some of the mechanisms for improved survival, for reduced cancer recurrence.

I mean, you mentioned one, which was continuing the treatment, right?

So obviously that's one important one.

But perhaps some other ones that may also affect cancer metastasis, right?

Like that would also affect survival and perhaps recurrence later down the line as well.

What do you find?

Can we talk a little bit about some of these mechanisms like immune related, metabolic related?

I've heard you talk about increased blood flow as well.

And maybe what's most compelling if there's any that's most compelling?
