Feeling tired doesn't quite cover it. Cancer-related fatigue is a persistent sense of exhaustion that rest doesn't always relieve. It's one of the most common side effects of cancer and its treatment. Pacing yourself is key. Prioritise tasks, allow yourself to rest without guilt, and try gentle exercise like a short walk if you can. Listening to your body is a sign of strength.
