Fatigue is defined as “weariness or exhaustion from labor, exertion, or stress” (1). It is a common part of life, but can also be a symptom of an illness, such as cancer, and/or a side effect from treatments, including chemotherapy.

A caregiver – whether it be a family member or friend – plays a critical role in the overall well-being of a patient after a cancer or blood disorder diagnosis. It’s a frightening process for anyone to go through – from diagnosis to treatment and survivorship. This December, Coastal Cancer Center thanks those who help support our patients throughout their illness with physical and emotional care, unconditional love and support.
To learn more about what it means to be a caregiver and additional support, visit the “For Caregivers” section of CoastalCancerCenter.com. Caregiver tips and encouragement is also available on our Facebook page.
