    What do astronauts and cancer patients have in common?
    Jonathan explores this fascinating connection with Dr. Jessica Scott, learning how six decades of NASA research is being used to help the recovery of cancer survivors. New research challenges the traditional notion that you should rest during cancer treatment. Instead, Jessica’s studies into exercise could hold the key to a long and healthy life post-diagnosis.
    Dr Jessica Scott started her career at NASA where she spent 7 years designing exercise programs for astronauts in outer space. Now, as the principal investigator at the world-leading Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, she is using her unique skillset in the fight against cancer.

    Confession, I haven't watched all of the video however I want to make one comment. I had chemo for high grade lymphoma at age 73 (currently 76) and the side effects were so profound I wouldn't have really been able to do much if any physical exercise. Sometimes walking to the bathroom was an adventure as I was so weak and dizzy that near the end of chemo I had to hold on to things to make my way anywhere in the house. A 150 step day was a big day. Post chemo I have been doing a great deal of walking, including one wretched hill I use to increase cardio. I do this daily and average around 12,000 steps. I do get a cardio workout from walking up the wretched hill, I am overweight. And it took me two years to work up to 12,000 steps. My first foray outside was a drunken staggering walk that was in total 3 short blocks. I had to stop 5 times I was in so much pain, mostly from unused back muscles while I experienced chemo and initial early recovery. Walking a straight line was not possible.

    I can definitely agree with this video . When I was treated for leukaemia in 1996/1997 I had a portable rowing machine next to my hospital bed and was rowing every day even when I was on a drip. The only time I could not physically exercise was during my bone marrow transplants. After treatment I restarted exercising as soon as I could exercise again. It hasn’t been easy and it took me a lot of determination to do it.
    In October 2020 I was diagnosed with incurable bladder cancer. I was given about 2 years to live. I had chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy and currently on a trial drug. I never stops exercising and still feel well enough to lead a normal life.
    For me exercising has always been part of my life since my teenager years.
    Another benefit of exercising is it help mentally to cope with having cancer.

    I can vouch for walking . It helped me leave thoughts of cancer at home. Afternoon walks with my Collie/Shepherd Buddy, distracted me from thinking about the pain in my feet, and tingling hands. Herding and keeping me on our gradually expanding course, along tree-lined urban streets, down winding paths, until gradually, I was strong enough to take the ravine steps all in one go, before resting, taking in the river view. Following my instincts, and my dear Buddy, meant never walking alone, twenty-six years ago.

    This is such an important topic, I love that you are reporting this as part of Zoe's concern for overall health, and not just those issues directly related to a Zoe product. As a cancer survivor who unerwent radiation treatment, I am always interested in what I can do to manage possible long term effects. I have exercised regularly for years and the studies you all discussed related to astronauts is fascinating, the link to all of us regular humans is fascinating as well. My biggest take away was the importance of exercise variation and I look forward to hearing the results of the ongoing research.

It helps me daily Its not about how long I live Its about how I feel everyday I am here. I walk most days from 30-60 mins. I go to the gym for a varied workout 2-3 times a week I swim in summer

    I agree with the benefits of Exercise.
    I was very active before I got diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma and I think that helps me recover better and faster.
    I did my stem cells transplant after 6 months and that was very hard on my body but I tried to go back to walking even during my 1 month stay at the hospital. I started with a 5 m walk in the hospital and I end up in less than a year to more than 5 km a day.
    All my doctors were surprised of my good health during these years.
    Now, I walk at least 3 km a day and in some good days 10 km.
    I go to the gym almost daily now and that helps a lot in keeping my health at a good level for my age and treatment.
    Patient with MM need a daily strong meds that have many side effects so with exercise I was able to ease them and have an almost normal life.
    I hope this helps some of you out there. Keep trying and don’t give up.

    Thank you for this. there is so much to applaud.
    First off: the massive benefits, to all humans, of NASA getting to the Moon is beyond measure, and if you deny the achievement then you have a massive health problem.
    Second: past generations were used to fighting for their lives (quite literally for my parents, who both survived extreme violence during WWII). In the bad old days, when going to the doctor cost a week's wage, being a stubbon b*gger was what kept many people alive.
    It has long been known that recovery from a stroke depends on determination; and it hearing Jessica Scott give proof that being a right stubborn b*gger is still the key to living longer.
    On top of that more people will do a difficult thing, like exercise when feeling bad, if there's a goal reward. There is no greater reward than living.

      Exercise cures all problems because insurance doesn't have to pay for it. Sometimes a drug fixes a problem, and sometimes it doesn't but either way it's the treatment when the doctors are financially incentivized to prescribe it (kickbacks, etc.)
      Unfortunately, people don't exercise enough and are too obese.. which further complicates things.

      She said the mission to Mars is 3 years long not 3 years to get there as such but she must be reckoning on a long stay or she messed up the maths like you say lol. The general consensus is 6 to 9 months to get there depending on orbital positioning- Hohmann, at least 3 months stay on the Red planet to wait for the best alignment for the return and 6 to 9 months back. Being realistic probably 1.5 years at least but if they wanted to do more on the surface and/or miss the optimal launch window it extends the mission to minimum 3 years which might be what she is talking about. Obviously the stay is not zero G so I’m sure running about in a space suit on the 0.38g planet will do some good as exercise lol.
