I guess this makes sense to a degree and might explain why extremely fit women like Martina Navritilova and Sheryl Crow got it anyway. Moderation must be the key.
I'm normal height/weight, have been very active all my life and walk 5 to 6 miles a day at least 5 days a week. I just had a bi-lateral mastectomy. (No history of breast cancer in the family.) Good news is I walked 2 miles the day I got home and got back to the 5 the day after. The key is not to let it get you down - like some of these articles can. Research studies are definitely NOT one-size-fits-all.
The benefits of exercise to people before, during and after therapy is well documented- not only for breast cancer but for all cancers. I should know as I am a long term survivor of an incurable cancer- multiple myeloma.
