What are some treatments for fatigue?
Fatigue is a persistent feeling of tiredness, weakness and lack of energy over a prolonged period of time. Many cancer patients will experience fatigue during treatment, and in some people, it can continue after treatment is finished. Ways to cope with fatigue include prioritizing daily activities and getting plenty of rest. It is helpful to discuss appropriate diet, exercise and stress reduction strategies with your health care provider. In chronic cases of fatigue, your doctor may choose to prescribe medications.
