Feeling tired all the time during treatment
Tiredness (fatigue) is one of the most common side effects. It is real, and it can be eased.
What helps
- Short rests through the day
- Gentle walks or light activity, if your doctor agrees
- Doing important tasks when you have most energy
Ask for help
- Let family share cooking, shopping and travel
- It is fine to say no to visitors
Tell your doctor
- Tiredness can come from low blood (anaemia) or other treatable causes
- Tell them if it gets worse
