Managing physical consequences of cancer and cancer treatment
On this page:
Cancer and its treatment can cause a range of physical changes, both during treatment and afterwards. These can affect different parts of the body and may include fatigue, pain, changes to mobility, digestion, sleep, or other aspects of your health. Some effects are temporary, while others may last longer or develop over time.
This section provides information and practical support to help you understand and manage these physical consequences. You will find guidance on common symptoms such as fatigue, breathlessness, nerve changes, and joint pain, as well as advice on areas like nutrition, physical activity, and recovery.
Our aim is to help you recognise what is normal, manage symptoms effectively, and know when and how to seek additional support so you can maintain your independence and quality of life.
