The Cancer Fatigue Library – For Everyone, Anywhere

We get messages from people in Australia. The UK. Germany. Across the United States. From every province in Canada. People living with cancer-related fatigue who have read something or seen something or heard something we’ve put out, and who want help. And most of them, we can’t see in clinic. That’s been difficult to sit with.

So we did the next best thing.

Every conference talk our founder Scott has given over the past year. Every panel. Every podcast, every interview, the CBC Radio Metro Morning conversation that listeners keep writing in about, the CTV News Toronto feature, the long-form CCSN webinar series. All of it, pulled into one place on our website. Free. No signup. No paywall. No email capture. Just the conversations.

Call it Christmas in July.

Because the resource we wished existed for the people who can’t come to us, didn’t exist. So we made it.

What this library is, and what it isn’t

This isn’t a YouTube playlist. It isn’t a list of wellness tips. It isn’t generic survivorship content.

It’s a curated set of evidence-based clinical conversations between Dr. Scott Adams and some of the people most credibly working on cancer-related fatigue in Canada, Dr. Christopher Booth, the team at Colorectal Cancer Resource Action Network (CCRAN), the team at the Canadian Cancer Survivor Network (CCSN), the CBC Metro Morning and CTV News Toronto teams, cancer coach Kathryn White, and survivor-host Carolyn Van. These are the talks that led to people writing to us. If you have ever felt unheard, unseen, or unsure where to even start with your fatigue: start here.

The Library

1. CTV News Toronto – A News Feature on Cancer Fatigue Care

cancerfatigueservices.com/CTV

The CTV News Toronto feature that ran in May 2026, reported by Elianna Lev. (👈click)! A patient story, a look at what CFS does, and an unsolicited endorsement from Lindsay Timm, Executive Director of the Canadian Cancer Survivor Network, on the gap in survivorship care that CFS is built to close. Two minutes long. If you’re new here and want the fastest possible overview of who we are and why we exist, this is where to start.


2. CBC Radio One, Metro Morning – Cancer-Related Fatigue, Explained

cancerfatigueservices.com/CBC

The CBC Metro Morning conversation that aired in April 2026. The one we keep hearing back about. Multiple listeners have written in to say it was the first time they’d heard someone describe what they were going through. Less than eight minutes long. If you only have time for one piece in this library, this is the one to send to the person who needs it most.


3. Structured Exercise at Every Stage of the Cancer Journey – Colorectal Cancer Community Conference Panel – Dr. Scott Adams with Dr. Christopher Booth and Dr. Daniel Santa Mina

cancerfatigueservices.com/CCC

Dr. Scott Adams at the Colorectal Cancer Community Conference, in conversation with Dr. Christopher Booth and Dr. Daniel Santa Mina on why structured exercise matters at every stage of the cancer journey. Dr. Booth is one of the senior authors of the landmark CHALLENGE trial, a randomized study showing that structured exercise meaningfully reduces colon cancer recurrence and improves survival. That study reframes exercise as treatment, not as wellness. This panel is where that science meets the practical question of what to actually do about it. If you’ve ever been told to “just rest”, or, at the other extreme, that you’re “doing too much”, this is the panel that gives you the language to push back on both. One of the most quietly important conversations in this library.


4. Exercise as Cancer Treatment: Meet Maria.

cancerfatigueservices.com/CCRAN

Dr. Scott Adams’s full 45-minute talk at the 2026 CCRAN colorectal cancer summit, the single most comprehensive case for exercise as cancer treatment in this library. Scott opens with the CHALLENGE trial published in the New England Journal of Medicine by Drs. Kerry Courneya and Christopher Booth, which for the first time at the gold-standard level of evidence, showed structured exercise reduces cancer recurrence by 28% and the risk of dying by 37%. He then walks the audience through “Maria”, a 62-year-old composite patient diagnosed with stage III colon cancer, showing what exercise can do at every stage of her treatment, from prehab through chemotherapy to long-term survivorship. This is the talk that became the seed of our Maria’s Story social series. If you want the deepest single introduction to exercise as treatment, not as a lifestyle suggestion, not as wellness, this is it. Scott also talks about how he sees different “tiers of support” required for different people at different stages of their cancer journey.


5. Living to Thrive with Cancer – Kathryn White Podcast

cancerfatigueservices.com/KWCC

CFS Founder Dr. Scott Adams and Advocacy and Engagement Lead Peter Laneas in conversation with Kathryn White on her Living to Thrive with Cancer podcast (May 2026). Kathryn is a stage IV colon cancer thriver, certified cancer coach, and author of Living to Thrive: A Holistic Guide to Living with Cancer; someone who knows the lived-experience side of this question intimately. The conversation moves between the science, the patient reality, and the cultural pressure to “just be grateful you’re still here.” If you’ve ever felt that exact pressure, or wondered why “get more sleep” stopped working, start with this one. Peter speaks openly about his own experience too.


6. Relieving Fatigue, Restoring Hope – CCSN Three-Part Webinar Series

cancerfatigueservices.com/CCSN

A three-part webinar miniseries Scott presented in partnership with the Canadian Cancer Survivor Network in November 2025, hosted by CCSN communications manager Trevor Smith-Miller. Part one (Understanding Cancer-Related Fatigue) lays the foundation: what fatigue actually is, what causes it, and why “just rest more” is the wrong answer. Part two (The Most Effective Treatments and Management Strategies) is the practical core: what the research actually shows works. Part three closes with a Q&A featuring Scott and advocate Peter Laneas, where the questions audience members were quietly carrying come out into the open. If you want the most comprehensive single resource in this library, this is it, but be ready to set aside the time. It rewards it.


7. Candidly with Carolyn – One of the First Long-Form Conversations About Cancer Fatigue

cancerfatigueservices.com/CANDIDLY

Dr. Scott Adams in conversation with Carolyn Van on her Candidly with Carolyn podcast (May 2025). Carolyn is a cancer survivor herself, and her show lives up to its name: the conversation is unhurried, warm, and genuinely curious. This is the earliest piece in the library, recorded just after Carolyn visited the clinic, and it remains one of the most accessible introductions to what cancer-related fatigue actually is, why frontline cancer centres so often miss it, and why “just sleep more” stops working. Scott shares the story of a long-time friend who broke down on the stairs to her own front porch, fifteen years post-diagnosis. That captures the lived weight of this condition more clearly than any statistic. If you’ve ever tried to explain your fatigue to someone who doesn’t get it, the language in this conversation is the language to borrow.


One more thing, before you go

We built Cancer Fatigue Services for the people who can come to us. We built this library for the people who can’t… yet.

Even if we can’t see you in clinic, we still want to help. If something here makes you feel less alone, or less lost, or less like you have to figure this out by yourself, send it to one other person who needs it. That single share is the most meaningful thing you can do, especially if you’re in a place where care like this doesn’t exist locally yet. The conversation grows when one person hands it to the next.

Wherever you are in the world: welcome.
