Side effects and fatigue
Exhaustion, a changed appearance, and what helps.
Breast cancer treatments can have side effects. One of the most common is fatigue, a deep exhaustion that you simply cannot sleep off. It deserves to be taken seriously and is no sign of weakness.
What helps against fatigue is, surprisingly, often moderate exercise, along with a good rhythm of activity and rest. A changed appearance, for example from hair loss, also weighs on many people.
