What Are the Effects of Fatigue and How Can It Be Managed?
Fatigue is one of the most common complaints among cancer patients and can be debilitating. It may be caused by the cancer itself, treatments, anemia, or emotional stress. Management strategies include regular physical activity, adequate nutrition, and structured rest periods. Cognitive-behavioral therapy and energy conservation techniques can also help patients cope with fatigue.
