Eat well
A varied and balanced diet is recommended (fruits and vegetables, meat or fish, dairy products). Yes, but sometimes you have no appetite and are embarrassed by nausea. Try to split your meals (make 4 or 5 small a day). You may also be able to consult a dietitian. He will give you valuable advice and recipe ideas to feed you better.
Relax
When we are stressed, anxious, depressed, we get tired more quickly. To find more serenity, you can get help from a psychologist. To relax, there are yoga, relaxation therapy, shiatsu solutions, etc.
Rest
Don’t beat yourself up for being less active than usual. You need time for yourself and time to rest. Try to go to bed at a regular time, to have your sleep count, to take naps if necessary (not too long anyway, otherwise your night may be restless). Your doctor may decide to prescribe sleeping pills if he deems it useful.
Have an activity
Resting is good, but having an activity is also recommended. For sports, take it easy for now: a bit of walking, gymnastics, swimming. Otherwise, everything is good for your morale: reading, sewing, pottery, writing, painting …
Get help
It might not be your habit, but this time you can allow yourself to ask friends and family for a helping hand. So that they will run errands for you from time to time, babysit the children, take your older daughter to her riding lessons … It’s up to you to see what will relieve you the most.
Also note that fatigue is sometimes due to a significant drop in blood cells that drugs can bring up.
Finally, be aware that advances in molecular biology are revolutionizing the management of breast cancer. Talk to your doctor and read the medical feature on Advances in Breast Cancer, in October’s Top Health (# 217).
