When concurrent illness was taken into account, fatigue was significantly related to treatment with chemotherapy, irrespective of length of time since treatment, age, disease stage, or tamoxifen use. Finally, fatigue and education level explained a significant level of the variation in illness uncertainty. Nurses can identify...Continue Reading
