We have the opportunity to be agents of transformation, fighting cancer-related fatigue and bringing to life one year of research of a fellow nurse. The project "Step Into Life" makes nurses and patients partners in combating a problem that afflicts more than 80 percent of all cancer patients and is the most-prevalent and least-treated symptom for stem cell and bone marrow transplant patients.
As a Stanford evidence-based fellow, Laila Craveiro developed a self-guided walking program for patients following the most current Cancer Network guidelines that list exercise as the number one non-pharmacologic intervention to address cancer-related fatigue.
We'll start in-services on the week of March 26 to teach the staff how to use the program. Binders with handouts for patients will be at the breezeway. Come to the various in-services, earn a T-shirt and become a buddy for a patient who might have you as a mentor in a journey of steps -- literally -- that can make a huge difference in the patient's long walk to recovery.
