Summary

This trial tests whether practicing Tai-Chi can help reduce fatigue in breast cancer patients receiving chemotherapy. Participants are randomly assigned to either routine care alone or routine care plus Tai-Chi practice five times a week for three weeks. Fatigue levels are measured every three days to see if the gentle exercise makes a difference.
