Working closely with a personal trainer, Rosalina shares her transformative experience of strengthening her bones and gaining muscle mass.

She celebrates the power of exercise and how it empowered her to take an active role in her recovery and survivorship journey. Through her story, she emphasizes the crucial role of clinical trials and the need for better representation of minority groups and people of color to improve cancer treatments and create personalized cancer plans.
