Research suggests: 70-‐ 100% of cancer patients receiving cancer treatment have fatigue (2) . Fatigue is reported: 70-‐100% of patients undergoing chemotherapy 65-‐100% in patients receiving radiation therapy 30% in long term survivors (3) . Despite fatigue being a distressing symptom, doctors and nurses seldom focus on it, and patients and caregivers rarely report it (4) .
CRF is more than regular tiredness and it is not relieved by rest or sleep (5) . CRF is the most common symptom associated with cancer, greater than pain, nausea and depression. Fatigue seldom occurs by itself; it occurs with other symptoms as a “symptom cluster” (6) . Symptoms of CRF: physical weakness or tiredness depressive mood lack of initiative or motivation impairment of cognitive function reduced ability to sustain social relationships.
