What Is It: Cancer Fatigue or Cancer Related Fatigue?
Fatigue is more than just tiredness. Everyone feels tired and can be reasonably sure to feel fine after a good night’s sleep. Fatigue is the kind of tiredness that is bone deep, which has no seeming reason and which is present even after rest and which can disrupt normal functioning and quality of life.
Cancer related fatigue is a side effect of the cancer itself or the cancer treatment that one undergoes. The causes of cancer fatigue are many:
The cancer causes muscles to weaken and hormonal changes due to which fatigue happens. The cancer cells compete with healthy cells to obtain nutrition for growth and it often deprives healthy tissue of sustenance, causing weight loss, slow metabolism and fatigue.
Some cancers also release into the body certain proteins that contribute to tiredness. The emotional upheaval that cancer brings with it, the stress and the anxiety can contribute to the tiredness.
Lack of sleep or interrupted sleep can mean that a person awakens un-refreshed. Certain medications can also be enervating and cause fatigue.
Chronic pain, another characteristic problem with cancer can be debilitating and this increases fatigue.
How cancer treatment causes cancer fatigue?
Chemotherapy is known to result in fatigue. While for some this may be short-lived, many find that the effects of chemo extend beyond the treatment. Many types of cancer treatment can lead to anemia since healthy red blood cells can also be destroyed along with cancerous cells. An estimated 70% of cancer patients who undergo chemotherapy have anemia and consequently fatigue.
Similarly radiation therapy also causes cancer fatigue which can be cumulative in nature and may last for months after the actual treatment.
The types of cancer that need bone marrow transplant can really take a heavy toll on the cancer sufferer since this is an aggressive form of treatment. The type of cancer fatigue that follows bone marrow transplant can last up to a year.
The cancer as well as its treatments can decrease a person’s appetite. There can be nausea or vomiting that makes a person less inclined to eat, taste changes and mouth sores, heartburn and digestive disturbances that further reduce appetite, adding to the fatigue.
It is important to combat cancer fatigue by eating well, exercising but not doing too much, taking frequent rest, conserving energy and using medical interventions if required.
the questions you need to succeed in business
These are not my original thoughts, but they are a great list of questions if you’re interested in providing a service (a blog, a business, consulting – basically any service you can think of):
- What needs do people have that I can fulfill?
- What trend or trends are present here?
- What opportunities do they present?
- What are the current gaps in the marketplace?
- What is the insight that can lead me to create greater value in this segment?
- How can I leverage what I know about this category or industry that makes sense for my [work] and my brand name?
- How can I test the efficacy of my idea?
These ideas came from Thomas Edison, inventor of a couple things (!), and they are remarkably applicable 100 years after he said them. I am trying to apply these ideas to my thought process about future work after my current career winds down.
What really kills me – and this happens more and more often – is how much inspirational and quite frankly useful stuff has already been written. So much of what’s written about inspiration, getting rich, etc. has already been covered better and earlier. Even what I’m trying to write about has probably been covered better by people like Ben Franklin already. It’s amazing how “The Secret” is not really a secret – it’s there and it’s available, we (and I include myself) just don’t take advantage of it.
The simplest, most straightforward ideas are right there. They are public domain works. You don’t need to buy anything. You don’t need to attend a seminar. It’s all free already – the concepts behind wealth and health and happiness. Don’t buy another self-help book, just hit the Internet. In 10 years it will all be monetized and privatized, but right now it’s the biggest treasure trove of free information the world has ever seen…

6 Ways to Salvage your New Years Resolutions
We’re less than a full month into the new year. Did you make any resolutions? If so, how’re they doing?
If you’ve already broken your New Year’s resolution, don’t be too hard on yourself. It turns out that the odds were stacked against you. A study in 2007 by Richard Wisemen from the University of Bristol showed that 88% of people who make New Year resolutions fail to keep them.
Those are pretty dismal numbers when you consider it. A lot of people break their resolutions and feel depressed. But as the Japanese proverb says “Fall 7 times, stand up 8″. So, how can you salvage your new year’s resolutions?
- Remember why you made the resolution: It came from somewhere. So take a moment and try to reconnect with the original impulse. Life distracts us, so try to focus past the distractions and find what you had desired.
- Discard the resolutions that don’t come from you: Too often we resolve to do the things we think we should do, rather than the things we want to do. When you have no personal attachment to your resolutions, it’s a lot easier to break them.
- Reschedule your New Year: January is actually a bad time to start many resolutions. If we take weight loss as our example: gyms are more crowded than ever before, and the weather isn’t always friendly towards going outside and exercising. If any of these things are impacting your resolutions, why not wait until the spring? Good resolutions are a challenge, but there’s no reason that you shouldn’t stack the odds in your favor.
- Redefine your resolution: Try taking your goal and breaking it into smaller increments. For example, if you want to lose 36 pounds in the year, instead set yourself a more achievable goal of 3 pounds per month. This gives you a number of smaller goals that you can achieve and celebrate, helping you build momentum and retain your focus, even as you move towards achieving your larger overall resolution.
- Make use of your support network: We live in a world more connected than ever before. This means that supportive friends are as close as the smart phone in your pocket or the nearest computer. By sharing your resolutions with your support network, you gain people to help you when you’re struggling and who can celebrate with you while you succeed.
- If at first you don’t succeed…: We get too focused on failure. If you could change your behaviour without any problems then you wouldn’t need to make resolutions in the first place. If we learn from our mistakes, then we give ourselves a far better toolkit for long-term success than we would if we had succeeded without any problems or challenges.
