Staying healthy during chemotherapy
It is important to talk with your healthcare team and ask questions before you begin treatment. Staying as healthy as possible can have a positive impact on how your body feels after one or more rounds of chemotherapy.

Coping with fatigue
Fatigue—feeling tired physically, mentally, and emotionally—is a common side effect of cancer and chemotherapy. It can affect your daily routine, your personal care, and your relationships. It is important to tell your healthcare team if you are experiencing fatigue.
Five tips for dealing with fatigue
Rest, but don't overdo it. Too much rest can make you feel more tired
Talk to your doctor about staying as active as you can. Regular exercise is a good way to fight fatigue
Reach out. Ask your family and friends for help with chores and activities
Plan ahead. Schedule your activities for short periods when you tend to feel best
Stick to a sleep schedule. Take naps early in the day to prevent changes in your nighttime sleep pattern
Exercising and chemotherapy

Benefits of moderate exercise
Resting when you are tired is an important part of taking care of yourself. But some exercise is also beneficial to keep your mind and body healthy.
Types of exercise
Consider exercising every day or several times a week. Walking, swimming, and yoga are great types of exercise. Taking a walk before meals can help you feel hungrier.
The benefits of exercise can include
More physical energy (less fatigue)
Increased appetite
Better outlook and sense of well-being
Improved ability to meet challenges of treatment
Better functioning in daily activities
Encourage friends and family to join your exercise program. It may help you stay motivated.
Tips for proper exercise
Talk to your healthcare team about exercising during your chemotherapy treatment
Start slow. Then, if your healthcare team approves, increase the length of time you exercise over the next few weeks
Don't overexert yourself. Monitor your heart rate, breathing, and the tiredness of your muscles
Listen to your body. If you start to get short of breath or feel tired, rest
If you exercised regularly before beginning chemotherapy, you should talk to your healthcare team about adjusting the intensity and frequency of your exercise during treatment.
