Lifestyle Intervention for Veterans With Blood Cancer
This study is for veterans living with blood cancer. It's testing a special program delivered through telehealth (using technology like video calls) that focuses on exercise. You would participate in bi-weekly resistance exercise sessions online, and your aerobic exercise would be tracked using a Fitbit. The goal is to see if this program can improve your quality of life, mental health, and pain. They are looking for 30 veterans who are physically able to exercise for 30-90 minutes at least twice a week. The study will measure your fatigue at the beginning and after 12 weeks to see if the program helps.
