How do I take care of myself if I have angiosarcoma?

Angiosarcoma is a fast-moving cancer. You can take care of yourself by slowing down. Try to give yourself time to understand what’s happening to your body. Talk to your healthcare provider about steps you can take to support your treatment. Here are some suggested steps that may help:

• Cancer is stressful. You might find activities such as meditation, relaxation exercises or deep breathing help to ease your stress.
• Your treatments might affect your appetite. Try to eat a healthy diet, and talk to a nutritionist if you’re having trouble eating.
• You may feel very tired or “wiped out” after your cancer treatments. Try to get as much rest as you can.
• Cancer can be lonely. Sometimes, it’s hard talking to loved ones about your condition. Your healthcare provider can direct you to support groups and programs where you can share your thoughts and feelings with people who understand what you’re going through.
