Many Women Who Beat Cancer Don't Change Habits

Many women who battle breast cancer will tell you it's a life-changing experience. However, a new study shows that for many 　　1　 , the changes aren't always positive or permanent1.

Beth Snoke has watched her mother and both grandmothers battle and survive breast　2　 .So when she was diagnosed, there was no doubt in her mind 　　3　 she had to do.

"I do exactly what the doctors say as far as the medicine that I'm on, as 　　4　 as the vitamins, the diet, and the fitness. And I can't stress enough　　5　 important that is," says Beth Snoke. But a surprising new study shows that 　　6　 every woman who beats breast cancer is getting that message. In fact, nearly 40% of them say even 　　7　 surviving breast cancer, they haven't made significant changes in the 　　8　 they eat or how much they exercise.

"Not all survivors are taking advantage of this teachable moment and making positive health changes in 　　9　 life," says Electra Paskett, PhD, at Ohio State University's Comprehensive Cancer Center.

许多战胜癌症的妇女旧习未改

许多与乳腺癌作斗争的妇女会告诉你：这场斗争改变了她们的一生。然而，一项新研究发现，对许多妇女而言，这些变化并非总是正面的或持久的。

贝斯·斯诺克曾目睹母亲、祖母和外祖母战胜乳腺癌的经过。因此，当她诊断出患有乳腺癌时，她心里十分清楚自己该做些什么。

“无论是吃的药、维生素，还是饮食、健身，我都按医生说的去做。这一点特别重要，怎么强调都不为过。”贝斯·斯诺克说道。然而，一项惊人的新研究显示，并非每个战胜乳腺癌的妇女都谨遵医嘱。事实上，近40%的妇女说虽然她们战胜了乳腺癌，但并未在饮食方式或运动量上有多大改变。

俄亥俄州立大学的综合性肿瘤中心的Electra Paskett博士说道：“并非所有的幸存者都有效利用了这个有教育意义的时刻，积极改变生活方式，促进健康。”她也指出，饮食和运动已证明不仅有助于妇女在治疗中和治疗后恢复健康，而且可以防止某些癌症卷土重来。尽管这样的证据越来越多，但一些妇女就是不听。

“事实表明，那些经常锻炼身体的结肠癌幸存者的存活率已大为提高。因此，如果我们做出一些有益健康的选择，确实可以促进他们的健康。”Paskett说道。

Paskett本人也是一名乳腺癌幸存者，她亲身体会到饮食和运动的作用的确很大。她说，现在面临的挑战是如何让更多的幸存者在治疗中和治疗后都像贝斯一样谨遵医嘱。

专家说加强身体锻炼、饮食更加健康也能缓解压力，有助于妇女消除抑郁症。美国有两百多万名乳腺癌幸存者。其中，近一百万名妇女需要改善她们的饮食或运动习惯。
