Fatigue, or feeling tired, is a common side effect of cancer treatments. For many people, fatigue lessens and goes away when treatments are over. For others, it lasts longer and may affect daily activities.
Exercise is one way to help with fatigue. You can also try a mindfulness approach. Mindfulness is learning how to be more self-aware and focused. It can help you make clear choices and deal with fatigue in a productive way.
