Is occupational therapy wise to help me regain strength?

I've been taking chemo orally and now I'm tired almost all the time, and feel like I have limited strength. Picking up things are becoming difficult. I want to regain my strength, especially since my test results recently came back good. Can occupational therapy help me?

Maintaining strength and function through chemo can be very challenging. An OT or hand therapist would be very capable of giving insight and ideas into how to not only maintain function, but improve the strength of your upper extremities.
Wishing a fast recovery for you!
