Several factors contribute to physical exhaustion in cancer patients:
Cancer Treatments: Chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and other treatments can cause fatigue as a side effect. Anemia: Many cancer patients develop anemia, which can lead to severe tiredness. Emotional Stress: The psychological burden of a cancer diagnosis can drain a patient's energy. Nutritional Deficiencies: Poor appetite and weight loss can lead to a lack of essential nutrients, contributing to fatigue. Pain: Chronic pain can interfere with sleep and increase overall exhaustion.
