Cancer Fatigue and Maintaining a Home

How do you manage household chores while dealing with cancer fatigue?

What strategies help you keep up with daily tasks when energy is low?

We’d love to hear your tips for balancing home responsibilities with fatigue.

  1. Learn to let go, be less of a perfectionist, accept help from those around you, learn to delegate, learn to say "no" more often 🤗

    1. Hi , these are all great tips! Being less of a perfectionist is a hard one, because it is hardest to extend grace to ourselves.

      I wanted to ask you about accepting help, because many members find that friends and family ghost them. How have you asked for help that invites repeated offers of help? Do you find that setting boundaries shows not just what you can do or will accept, but also what you need? - Warmly, Donna (Team Member)
