I think different things work for different people. But I think those basic, common-sense things we all know about- like eating right, drinking water, exercising, getting adequate rest - do help. This was especially true for me during treatment, as I am a teacher and all of my treatments took place during the school year. I managed to get through the week ok, then would make sure I allowed myself to rest in the evenings or on weekends. I told myself it was ok not to worry so much about the house or other obligations. Now as I get further into post-treatment, the fatigue I have isn't so pronounced, but I do find I tire more easily, or can't do something as long without resting - it seems to be a stamina thing. I decided it was ok to break up tasks, instead of always pushing through until something was completely done. I was a pretty healthy eater before cancer, but there is always room for improvement, so I am trying to eat more fruits & veggies, and less processed foods and sugar. I do try to walk every day, and I also do yoga - which I was not able to do for several months due to the surgery and treatments, and I noticed a big difference in how I felt. I truly believe the healthy eating and exercising I was already following pre-cancer aided in my quick recovery after surgery, and also helped me to manage chemo side effects, so I believe it will help me to build myself back up now. I think it's important to be proactive - find what works for you and don't worry about what you can't do. Be patient and forgiving with yourself!
