How to care for a lymphoma patient at home

Lymphoma is a serious disease. To save the life of the patient, timely treatment is required. However, the care of lymphoma plays an important role in the prognosis. Therefore, comprehensive care should be provided to lymphoma patients in terms of spirit, life and diet. So, how to take good care of lymphoma patients?

1. Mental care The disease itself brings great mental pressure to the patient. Coupled with the side effects of surgical treatment and radiotherapy and chemotherapy, the patient's mood fluctuates greatly, causing the patient to show emotional reactions such as irritability, depression, and disappointment. Therefore, as family members of lymphoma patients, you should communicate more with the patient, inform him of the details of the disease, and express more positive treatment effects to enhance the patient's self-confidence.
2. Life care provides patients with a comfortable recovery environment and should closely observe the symptoms of patients after treatment. If any abnormality is found, the doctor should be contacted in time. In addition, patients after radiotherapy and chemotherapy should be advised to pay attention to hygiene and prevent infection; they can increase physical exercise appropriately to improve the body's immunity.
3. Diet care: Due to the progression of the disease or the side effects of treatment, the patient's appetite is poor and his physical condition is weak, so family members should be prepared in terms of diet. First of all, a variety of recipes should be formulated, and try to make them complete in color, fragrance, taste and shape. For patients with no appetite, psychological suggestion or medication can be used before meals to relieve the patient's anorexia, nausea and vomiting symptoms; avoid eating greasy food and raw and cold food; for those with oral and throat ulcers and pain who cannot eat, liquid food can be used instead, such as milk, oatmeal porridge and other light-tasting foods.
