Did you know that fatigue is the most common symptom associated with cancer survivorship? Many patients do not feel comfortable bringing it up with their doctors. It is under-reported, under-diagnosed and under-treated, affecting quality of life. Tis’ the season to offer support and coping strategies. Our speaker, Christina Ferraro, MSN, CNP, BMTCN, of the Cleveland Clinic Blood & Marrow Transplant Program will offer her professional wisdom and best tips for surviving the holidays. Spin Zucker will share on a personal level how he manages his fatigue. There will also be time for questions.

Basically --Auditing your condition--you know your energy level better than anyone else--Pace yourself--you will be surprised at how much you can accomplish--between each break You may need to consider how well sleeping refreshes you--a nasty symptom of CLL --many of us don't rest as well as before when we sleep--make a plan
