Nursing for advanced rectal cancer

What are the nursing measures for late-stage rectal cancer? After rectal cancer occurs, the patient's mood is relatively heavy. We all know that cancer is very difficult to treat, and rectal cancer is a relatively serious disease. Timely treatment can help rectal cancer be better controlled, so we need to actively do a good job of daily care. So what are the nursing measures for rectal cancer? Let's learn about it together!

1. Psychological care for rectal cancer: Many patients will be very negative and depressed when they suffer from rectal cancer, so we also need to actively provide psychological care. Rectal cancer patients must face reality and build confidence. A strong desire to survive is more important than any good care and treatment. It is very unfortunate to have rectal cancer. All patients with cancer, whether they realize it or not, have actually been on the front line of fighting cancer from the moment they get cancer. Fear, anxiety, despair and other extremely painful psychological emotions will follow. In clinical work, we see that under the same medical conditions, some patients who "think open-mindedly" and face reality often have much better treatment effects than those patients who are frightened by cancer. If a person's spirit is broken, even the best treatment and care are in vain.
2. Strengthen nutrition and enhance self-repair ability: We can also strengthen the nutrition of our daily diet to improve our physical fitness, and then actively resist rectal cancer, which can also improve our self-repair ability. Like all malignant tumors, the energy required for the growth of rectal cancer is more than that consumed by normal tissues of the body. In addition, surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy damage the body. Therefore, each patient should ensure sufficient calories and sufficient vitamins and inorganic salts under the guidance of a doctor, especially vitamins C, A and E. In addition, rectal cancer care patients should eat more vegetables and fruits. The diet should be regular and quantitative, eat small meals, and eat easily absorbed and digestible foods. This is the care measure for rectal cancer.
