Fatigue is a commonly experienced side effect when starting or adjusting to treatment, typically due to a decrease in food intake compared to your usual diet.

There are a number of interventions you can implement, such as those below to help tackle fatigue:

  • Aim for 3 small meals and 1-2 snacks a day
  • Increase your water intake
    • Aim for at least 2-3L of fluid daily
  • Increase your physical activity
    • Adding short bursts of exercise (eg walking) can increase your productivity and energy. Read more on how to build more activity into your day here.
