6. Fatigue
Having cancer will be very demanding on our body and on our immune system. The immune system will be on overdrive trying to deal with the problem and this will mean that a lot of resources will be redirected. This can leave the patient feeling very fatigued regardless of how much rest they have had. Difficulty eating might also mean that the patient doesnt get the nutrition they need, potentially exasperating to the problem. Whats more is that pain and stress may be causing the patient sleepless nights. Theres also the matter of treatments like chemotherapy that will also be very tiring for the patient.
