Why is managing fatigue important?
Fatigue can affect your quality of life, keeping you not only from recreational activities you enjoy but also from working or providing care for children, elders, pets, or others in your life. Fatigue can keep you from taking care of your own basic needs, such as preparing meals, overseeing your well-being, and paying bills. It can also interfere with your ability to socialize with the people you need for support, isolating you when you most need help and companionship.
In extreme cases, fatigue may cause a person with cancer to stop treatment. Managing fatigue may allow you to complete treatment to achieve its full benefits.
