Summary
This study tests a 12-week program called Breathe Easier+ for people who have finished treatment for non-small cell lung cancer and their partners. The program includes guided walking, resistance training, coaching calls, and stress management delivered remotely via smartphone or tablet. Researchers want to see if the program is practical and if it helps improve fitness, reduce fatigue and breathlessness, and boost quality of life for both survivors and their partners.
