While rest is always an important component of treatment and recovery, so is physical activity. After all, exercise has so many health benefits.
For years, physicians have recommended exercise to reduce the risk of developing cancer and to help cancer survivors thrive after treatment ends. But what about exercising during cancer treatment? Is it beneficial? Until recently, there were no recommendations.
The American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) recently issued the first-ever evidence-based exercise guidelines for adults in active cancer treatment.
Benefits of Exercise During Cancer Treatments
There is now good evidence that exercise, such as walking or structured exercise classes, can improve outcomes for cancer patients. In general, exercise can improve the body’s response to treatment, no matter the stage or type of cancer.

The 10th annual First Fork Festival will be held on Saturday, October 14th, from 11AM to 3PM at the Wildlife Center at Sinnemahoning State Park. Surrounded by glorious fall colors the First Fork Festival celebrates the history and culture of the First Fork Sinnemahoning Valley by highlighting local authors, artists, crafters, and artisans.
Yesterday morning around 5 am our cascade system was requested to assist Olean City at the scene of a structure fire on East State Street. Rescue 46 (portville 7) responded with a crew of two. Once on scene the crew assisted Olean City with filling their SCBA bottles. Our crew filled approx 70 bottles while on scene. We were released back into service around 10am.
This is the first time our new cascade system has truly been put to the test. We bought this current system when we bought the rescue in 2020, and while it’s been used numerous times since being placed into service this was it’s first true test. Filling 70+bottles is not a normal task. Our system held up great and could have continued to fill more if needed.
Great job by everyone operating on scene. It’s always great to see departments working well together.
