Feeling Fatigued, but still want to eat well?
During treatment, fatigue can often occur, especially as you receive additional treatments. Continuing to receive adequate nutrition with adequate protein, fiber, and micronutrients, will help to fight off fatigue. If you are losing weight, focus on maintaining your weight. You will have more energy if you are maintaining weight as this is a sign that you are providing your body with enough "fuel".
