Cancer-related fatigue

Fatigue is one of the more common side effects people experience during and after cancer treatment. Feeling tired, weak, drained and exhausted, either physically or mentally, can be very frustrating and isolating.

Cancer-related fatigue is different to normal tiredness because it doesn’t always go away with rest or sleep.

Managing fatigue is an important part of cancer care and there are things that can help. Our presenter, Elizabeth Pearson will outline practical strategies for managing fatigue, including the links to sleep problems.

Elizabeth is an occupational therapist and researcher who leads a research project focused on improving the management of cancer-related fatigue.
