Webinar - Overcoming Fatigue: How to get your energy back after cancer 24 October 2019
Webinar Invitation - Cancer Council New South Wales. Overcoming Fatigue: How to get your energy back after cancer. Fatigue is when you feel very tired, weak, drained and worn out. Cancer-related fatigue is different to normal tiredness because it doesn’t always go away with rest or sleep. Some people describe it as mental and physical exhaustion. Research shows that most people experience fatigue after their cancer diagnosis. While fatigue may be expected, life doesn’t stop. You may still need to do daily things like go to work, pick up the kids, do the shopping and clean your house. In this webinar, we will look at ways you can manage your fatigue and get your energy back. We will also explore some useful services that can support you through these challenging times. Date: Thursday, October 24, 2019 Time: 7 pm to 8 pm AEDT Duration: 60 Minutes Where: Online - join via your computer, tablet or smartphone Presenters: A/Prof Haryana Dhillon, Dr Ash Malalaskera and Sabrina Wren *If you are not available on the night you can still register and we will send you a link to the recorded webinar to watch later.

Things people say Webinar
Hi all, We thought you might be interested in this webinar by Cancer Council NSW on Thursday 29 November. Here is a bit of a blurb about it: It seems everyone has an opinion on cancer and they aren’t afraid to share it with you. But how do you manage and respond to these comments? Having cancer can affect your relationships with family, friends and colleagues. This may be because cancer is stressful, tiring and upsetting, or as a result of more positive changes to your values, priorities, or outlook on life. People close to you may deal with cancer in different ways, for example, by being overly positive, playing down fears, or keeping a distance. Friends and family may say things like “but you look fine”, “your treatment has finished now” and “the cancer has gone, hasn’t it?” They may have difficulty accepting that you may still need support or that some symptoms can persist for long periods of time or may never go away. It’s natural for family and friends to want the distress and disruption of can cer to be behind you. They care about you and want you to be well. However, if you find their reactions difficult to handle, you may need some strategies to help you manage. This webinar aims to provide strategies to help you manage social relationships, particularly in the lead up to the festive season which can be a very challenging time.
