Running on Empty: Fed Up with Fatigue

Cancer-related fatigue can take a toll on every aspect of your life - your mind, body and lifestyle. Seeing friends and family do the things you enjoy in life or in social media posts can make living with fatigue even more distressing because you may feel left out or isolated. Unlike day-to-day exhaustion, cancer-related fatigue impacts more than just your ability to get out of bed in the morning.
During this program presented by our Young Women's Initiative, our expert, Lillie D. Shockney, RN, BS, MAS, ONN-CG, a nationally- recognized oncology nurse, will discuss practical and medical methods to ease cancer-related fatigue. Ms. Shockney will also offer tools to cope with the social and emotional impacts of living with less energy than before.

Professor Shockney is a gem. You can just tell that she “gets it.” I am sorry that she has the history but her understanding and knowledge is invaluable.
