Breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, says Dr. David Margileth, will likely be able to maintain their current levels of activity. While fatigue is common, activity during treatment is important. Even with aggressive chemotherapies, Dr. Margileth asserts, women are able to work 80% of the time, if not more, while undergoing their chemotherapy regimen. Some women experience no fatigue; some experience minimal fatigue. Dr. Margileth's recommendation is to adjust your current lifestyle as needed once chemotherapy starts, but not to anticipate any drastic changes in your day-to-day life. Listen to this video as Dr. Margileth explains what to expect in your day-to-day life while undergoing chemotherapy.
