Secondary aims are to examine the effects of the intervention on daily functioning, work status/ability, physical fitness and QoL among the survivors, on QoL of their relatives and on the societal costs.The intervention will last for 12+12 weeks and include four components; patient education, supervised physical exercise, cognitive behavioral program and nutritional counselling.

Interdisciplinary complex intervention
The interdisciplinary complex intervention lasts 12 weeks and includes the 4 following components; Patient-education: a 2-hours group-based digital session, including information about fatigue, training theory, psychological strategies and nutrition, all in relation to chronic fatigue (CF). Physical exercise program: two weekly sessions with aerobic exercise and resistance training. The participants are instructed to do the same program in the unsupervised sessions as in the supervised sessions. After the first 12 weeks exercise period, the participant and the physiotherapist makes an individually tailored plan for exercise and follow-up the next 12 weeks. Cognitive behavioral program: 6 group-based online sessions lead by two psychologists, based on elements from cognitive behavioral therapy to reduce and/or manage CF. Each session lasts for 135 minutes. Nutritional counselling: 3 individual sessions by a clinical dietitian. Each session lasts for 30-60 minutes.
