“I do exercise work with pre-and post-surgery cancer patients. I love exercise and I love working with people, so it’s great that I’m able to combine the two. Exercise can help mitigate the side effects of cancer treatment, but there’s more to my role than that. There’s a lot of listening involved because these people are going through a really, really difficult and complicated time. I think they find it helpful to be able to talk to someone who’s kind of outside the medical world, but still involved professionally. It can be tough, but to feel that you’re helping someone cope with distress is a really rewarding feeling. It’s humbling.”
