PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To evaluate patient's fatigue at post-intervention (3 months from baseline). SECONDARY OBJECTIVE: I. To evaluate whether the change (improvement) in fatigue as measured by the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT)-Fatigue tool, from pre-interventions to post interventions is significantly different between intervention groups in patients with genitourinary cancers. THIRD OBJECTIVE: I. To assess patient perceived changes in occupational performance as measured by the Canadian Occupational and Performance Measure (COPM) tool, in the occupational therapy (OT) group, compared to the control group in patients with genitourinary cancers. OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 4 arms. ARM I (Bright white light \[BWL\]): Patients self-administer 30 minutes of light delivered via light glasses every morning for 3 months. Patients attend 6 follow up sessions to address any questions regarding the wearable light therapy glasses. ARM II (OT): Patients undergo 6 occupational therapist-led sessions over 60 minutes each. ARM III (BWL and OT): Patients self-administer 30 minutes of light delivered via light glasses every morning for 3 months. Patients attend 6 follow up sessions to address any questions regarding the wearable light therapy glasses and to complete the occupational therapist-led session over 60 minutes. ARM IV (CONTROL): Patients undergo routine treatment and usual follow up care with their medical oncologist. After completion of study, patients are follow-up for 3 months.
