What is Involved?
If you choose to join this study, you will get a random assignment (like a coin flip) to either:<ul>
<li>Take part in the study exercise program, which involves wearing a pedometer and joining a telephone-coaching group with telephone-based physical activity coaching (5 sessions); OR</li>
<li>Get a standard guidance packet related to physical activity after surgery from the American Society of Clinical Oncology</li></ul>
Participation is expected to last about 7 months. During this time, we will keep in touch with you to see how you are doing.
