Breast cancer symptoms or treatment side effects may affect your physical abilities or comfort while doing certain daily activities. But there are steps you can take to manage these challenges.
Doctors often prescribe a combination of radiation, surgery, and chemotherapy to treat early breast cancer. They may also prescribe other medications or treatments to manage breast cancer symptoms or treatment side effects.
Radiation or other treatments may cause skin changes, such as dryness, irritation, itching, or peeling. You might need to adjust your skin care routine to manage these changes.
Chemotherapy or other treatments may cause appetite loss, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea, which can affect eating habits or nutritional needs.
You might also experience pain, fatigue, or other cancer symptoms and treatment side effects that affect your quality of life or interfere with your daily routine. Even small changes to your usual activities might make a noticeable improvement in these symptoms or side effects, your productivity, or how well you feel.
