Patients need to take special care of their health during cancer treatment. Here are some general tips:

• Be sure to get plenty of rest and sleep as you may feel more tired than usual.
• Eat a balanced, healthy diet. Consult a nutritionist or dietician.
• Tell your cancer care team about all medicines and supplements you’re taking.
• Take special care of the skin in the treatment area as it may become more sensitive or look and feel sunburned.
