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.
This May is Oncology Nursing Month and a chance to recognize the outstanding contributions of our oncology nurses.
Oncology nurses are there for our patients through one of the most challenging times of their lives. They help patients and their loved ones by caring, teaching, listening, and simply being present. Take some time this month to recognize the hard work they do each and every day. They deserve it!
