Ernest H Rosenbaum, MD - Fatigue - being tired after resting or a good sleep - is common when a person has any type of chronic disease. Up to 90% of cancer survivors are affected, especially those under treatment. It affects quality of life, the ability to function, and the capacity to live a productive existence. It can be caused by emotional stress, anxiety, depression, pain, sleeping problems, hormonal problems, low thyroid, or anemia. An active program is needed to reduce fatigue.
