Fatigue
Fatigue, which is often confused with just being tired, is actually a prolonged and persistent lack of energy. Sleep, rest, and relaxation have no effect on someone who suffers from fatigue, and the condition usually feels worse as the days go by. It can last anywhere from a few weeks to over six months and can prevent you from living your life to the fullest. Fatigue and weakness that are related to cancer are the most common side effects of colorectal cancer, as well as its treatment. It is not predictable and differs from person to person. It is also not relieved by rest or sleep, is describes as paralyzing, and in many cases, continues long after treatment is complete.
