Exercising to fight fatigue may sound counterintuitive, but exercise can improve quality of life, assist with energy balance, and improve psychological well-being. Exercise increases endorphins in your brain which in turn allow you to mentally feel better. Exercise helps you to gain more energy to get out and continue to enjoy the activities you did before starting treatment.
Research has found that there is no harm in patients exercising during treatment. It some cases it has even reduced fatigue up to 40-50%. One study showed that women who exercised moderately (the equivalent of walking 3 to 5 hours per week at an average pace) after a diagnosis of breast cancer had improved survival rates compared with more sedentary women. Exercising can be a variety of activities. Walking, running, stretching, biking, and light lifting are all example of exercising. It is important to speak to your physician before starting to exercise to come up with a best course of action based on your diagnosis.
