It seems there are apps for everything under the sun, but did you know there are many health-related apps for our phones that might be beneficial to you?

Several years ago, Apple coined the buzz worthy phrase, “There’s an App for that.” According to the maker of the popular iPhone, there was an app (short for “application”) for just about anything you could imagine. Most of us have learned our phones are powerful tools. We can search for applications in just a few seconds by visiting the app store, but what has all of this to do with cancer? Well, I’m getting there.Last week, I wrote about my issue with fatigue. In that post, I discussed the ways physical exhaustion is affecting my life. Initially, I’d thought I was just extremely tired, but when symptoms didn’t resolve, I began to do research and found my problem was related to cancer. My problem also had a name: cancer-related fatigue.
A day or two after my post was published, I received a contact from Amy Rosenblum, Marketing Director for the Dutch company, “Tired of Cancer.” Ms. Rosenblum had read my post on cancer-related fatigue and wanted permission to share it with others. She explained her company had recently developed an app she thought I might find useful. This app, she explained, was designed to help cancer patients and survivors as they combat cancer-related fatigue (CRF).
