Prospective double-blind placebo controlled, 14-day cross-over trial of patients aged 65 and over with a history of cancer with self-reported fatigue. Participants will be randomized and provided with Fisetin pills or placebo to take twice daily on two consecutive days for two consecutive weeks. Participants will return on day 14 for a blood draw followed by a 14 day wash-out. At the four-week visit participants will receive a cross-over placebo-controlled dosing regimen over two weeks. Follow-up phone calls for safety assessment and adherence review will occur at weeks 1 and 5. Follow-up assessments will be completed at 2, 4 and 6 weeks, and a post-treatment phone call assessment completed at 12 weeks.
