Ovarian Cancer: Chemotherapy Side Effects
Fatigue, weight loss, and nausea are some of the most common side effects of chemotherapy. Kristina Rua, Patient Nurse Navigator with Miami Cancer Institute, says fatigue is the biggest and most common complaint of patients.
"The common misconception with fatigue is that if you are tired, you sit down and rest. Chemotherapy fatigue, the biggest and best way to treat it is to exercise. Patients that are more active and involved into light exercise tend to do better and have less long-term effects of fatigue."
