The MOST common side effect of all treatments FATIGUE

What is fatigue? Cancer-related fatigue is a distressing, persistent, subjective sense of physical, emotional, and/or cognitive tiredness or exhaustion related to cancer or cancer treatment that is not proportional to recent activity and interferes with usual functioning. NCCN Guidelines 2.2015

Sleep disturbance Lack of activity/deconditioning Other medical problems (COPD, diabetes…)

Treatment of fatigue depends on contributing factors Set priorities (self is #1) Conserve energy Structure activities Delegate Plan for fatigue (calendar) Rest and activity

Chemo Brain Cognitive changes, “mental cloudiness” Include memory, concentration changes Some reports state this happens in up to 80% of patients receiving cancer treatment Not completely understood – yet Often times lingers after treatment is completed

Some things that may contribute to chemo brain Cancer itself Drugs (nausea, pain, anxiety, chemo) Low blood counts Insomnia Fatigue Hormone changes Co-mobidities Poor oral intake (food/water) Emotional distress (anxiety/depression/stress)

What to do? Get plenty of sleep, eat well and exercise Try and decrease stress Meditate Make lists/stay organized, use calendar Ask for help Try to do one thing at a time (no multitasking), limit distractions Puzzles – crosswords, Sudoku, simple math problems Keep mind active Take a class, learn a language, play music

Gastro-intestinal “stuff” Taste change Mouth sores Nausea (anticipatory, during, after) Vomiting Heartburn Gas/bloating Diarrhea Constipation Appetite
