Thanks again Paul! These are great articles and I find the part about exercise beneficially oxygenating the tumor fascinating! It seems that my running can only do me good, but I will ask my oncologists about the level that they recommend. Feel free to pass anything else related to this topic along. I would be willing to be a part of a study as well if there was ever one being conducted out in northern California where I live. Thanks again!
