Avoid dizziness with normal movement. Dizziness can result from fatigue. When persons with cancer get up from lying down, remind them to sit on the bedside and dangle the feet and legs for at least 4 minutes before standing up. Plan regular exercise to reduce fatigue. Plan something to do every day despite the fatigue, even if it's as little as getting dressed or walking out to sit on the porch.
Short walks are also helpful.
Serve snacks as well as regular meals. Add liver and red meat to the diet because of needed proteins and iron. Ask family and neighbors to bring food, or call a community meals program to deliver balanced meals. They have meals for people on low-sodium and diabetic diets, if needed. The most important food group is nutritious carbohydrates, which give the most energy.
