In a recent article from the Lymphoma Research Foundation, experts address one of the most common and persistent challenges survivors face: cancer-related fatigue. Unlike everyday tiredness, cancer fatigue can linger long after treatment ends and is not always relieved by rest. The article offers practical, evidence-based strategies to help boost energy, including gentle and regular movement, prioritizing sleep quality, managing stress, pacing daily activities, and addressing medical contributors such as anemia, thyroid issues, or depression.

Stanford onco-primary care physician and author Dr. Ilana Yurkiewicz turns her national keynote into a practical playbook for anyone navigating a complex medical journey. She pulls back the curtain on how fragmented our health care system really is and offers three actionable strategies to take control of your care.

New research presented at the 2025 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium suggests that acupuncture may help ease “brain fog” and thinking difficulties many survivors struggle with after cancer treatment.

In a recent Cancer Culture article, radiation oncologist Dr. Stacy Wentworth challenges the idea of ranking cancers as “good” or “bad.” She argues that while diagnoses and treatments differ, survivorship challenges are often shared, and far too many people are left without guidance once treatment ends. The real issue is not which cancer is worse, but how many survivors are navigating life after cancer without the information, monitoring, and support they need. This is exactly why Hodgkin’s International exists: to make sure no one is left to figure out life after cancer alone.

Melissa Grosboll of The Many Faces of Cancer Podcast interviews Erin Cummings, co-founder and executive director of Hodgkin’s International. 

Sheri Prentiss, MD, MPH, CPS/A, CPE, FACPE is both a clinician and a cancer survivor. She was diagnosed with breast cancer and has been living with one of the most difficult repercussions from her treatment – lymphedema. Dr. Prentiss poignantly describes her ongoing battle with this late effect.

The data indicates that there is, indeed, an increased risk for pulmonary issues, including pneumonia, for young adult survivors. The article does not specify what causes this outcome, but we do know that radiation to the chest area can be a major culprit. If you have been treated for cancer, especially with radiation, you may want to be followed by a pulmonologist in addition to your other providers. Many Hodgkin’s survivors have regular “pulmonary function tests,” or PFT’s, to help monitor our lung health.

Here is a comprehensive look at a late effect that many Hodgkin’s survivors suffer from – dropped head syndrome. While we have understood that the primary cause may be radiation fibrosis, there are some studies that point to some chemotherapy agents that could also produce these symptoms.

Authored by Dr.Christina Poza-Kaderman and Saul Wisnia, this article offers some great advice for AYA’s who are challenged by a cancer diagnosis.

Cancer diagnoses are associated with a lower risk for subsequent dementia diagnosis, with the relationship strongest for cancers with poor prognoses, underscoring the need to investigate biological and survival-related mechanisms linking cancer and dementia.
