How to care for liver cancer in late stage? Three steps of home care for liver cancer in late stage

Cancer is the number one killer of human health. It not only deprives a person of his health and life, but also destroys the happiness and stability of several families. Especially for patients with advanced cancer, they often face tremendous pressure to survive, and even collapse under these pressures, thus giving up treatment. Can patients with advanced liver cancer only wait for the end of life in bed? Next, let us learn how to care for patients with advanced liver cancer.

How should we care for patients with advanced liver cancer?

1. Care for patients’ mental health

For patients with advanced liver cancer, most of them are no longer suitable for surgical treatment and will choose conservative treatment with anticancer drugs. The mental health of patients is very important during this period of time, because patients will always be in fear of deprivation of their lives. These fears will cause patients with advanced liver cancer to have negative emotions about treatment, thinking that no matter how the treatment is done, it will not change the outcome of death. This situation is very dangerous. The patients themselves are pessimistic and have a weak will to survive. Even if the treatment is effective, the effect will be wasted because of bad mood. Therefore, as family members of patients, we must care about the mental health of patients, do a good job of venting the patients' emotions, let the patients build up confidence in defeating the disease, and maintain a happy mood, so that patients can have the possibility of defeating the disease.

2. Eat a light diet and ensure nutrition

Whether you choose drug treatment or chemotherapy, you must ensure the patient's nutrition. Only when the nutrition is in place can you better withstand these treatments. In addition, the diet should be as light as possible. Do not eat too greasy or too salty food. It will not help improve the condition and may even cause other diseases. Therefore, when caring for patients with advanced liver cancer, the patient's family must pay attention to a light, comprehensive and rich diet, take care of the patient's taste, and try to make some food that the patient likes. Especially when chemotherapy causes a loss of appetite, you must try to let the patient eat something nutritious.

3. Do not compress the liver

Do not compress the liver is the most important principle in caring for patients with advanced liver cancer, because if the liver is compressed by gravity, it may cause liver rupture, which can cause massive hemorrhage and lead to accidents. Therefore, whether you are turning over a patient with advanced liver cancer or helping him do some activities, you must be careful with the liver and pay attention to protecting the liver.

Although it is very difficult to treat advanced liver cancer, patients should maintain a strong desire to survive and be full of hope. Family members should also provide good care and actively cooperate with treatment.
