Listen to your body

If you’re uncomfortable or something is impacting your day-to-day activities, even just a little bit, don’t ignore it.

  • Talk to your healthcare professional about any changes in the way you’re feeling
  • Do not delay side effect management. Immediate action may help prevent the side effect from worsening or causing other problems

Ask for and accept help and support

You’re managing a lot! Asking for and accepting help can be beneficial for both you and your loved ones. They want to help, and doing things to care for you is a way for them to cope with and process your diagnosis. To make it easier to accept help from others, try these things:

  • Ask a friend for a ride
  • Ask a friend to help with meal planning
  • Ask for help with household chores, like cleaning or yard work
  • Create a list of things you’d feel comfortable assigning to others to have on hand when they ask
