Method of measurement: The score given by the patient from the questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30) which is specific for cancer patients and measures 5 functional domains, 9 symptom domains and one general domain of quality of life. This questionnaire is based on a four-point Likert scale. Not at all (score 1), a little (score 2), a bit (score 3), very much (score 4). To calculate the score of each subscale, the score of each item related to that subscale is added together. To calculate the total score of the questionnaire, the scores of all questionnaire items are added together. The minimum and maximum score of this questionnaire is 30 and 126. The higher the score obtained from this questionnaire, the higher the quality of life and vice versa.;Fatigue intensity. Timepoint: Before the start of the intervention, it will be completed at the end of the first and fourth week after the start of the intervention.
