World-first study to combat
fatigue after treatment
With your support, a world-first study is
exploring whether physical activity can
significantly reduce fatigue in bowel cancer
survivors – one of the most debilitating
ongoing side effects.
Led by Dr Matthew Wallen from Flinders
University, the study aims to enhance
recovery and quality of life for cancer
survivors through physical activity.
“Our ultimate goal is to see this model of
care adapted for all cancer survivors and
we’re hopeful this approach can offer a
much-needed solution to fatigue,”
Dr Wallen said.

TOMORROW:

the number of people undergoing
such harsh treatments through
early detection.
