Does thyroid cancer require lifelong medication? How to prevent recurrence of thyroid cancer

After being diagnosed, patients with thyroid cancer generally have an abnormal psychological reaction period. For a long time, people usually equate cancer with death and are full of fear and despair about cancer. Whether the doctor tells the patient the actual situation after the diagnosis depends on the mental state and psychological quality of each patient. Most patients will have psychological or physical disorders after getting cancer, and most of them need surgical treatment. So do patients need to take medicine for life after thyroid cancer surgery?

Thyroid cancer surgery simply removes the tumor, but it cannot completely eliminate cancer cells hidden deep in the body. Postoperative auxiliary treatment is critical. Many cancer patients have cancer cells coming back a few years after surgery because surgery cannot completely remove residual cancer cells in the body. Therefore, it is necessary to take Chinese medicine in time after surgery to consolidate the therapeutic effect. Currently, the more successful clinical therapies can be used to effectively remove tiny lesions remaining from surgery and free cancer cells in the blood or lymphatic circulation, thereby preventing recurrence.

Our thyroid cancer patients must follow the doctor's advice after surgery. In addition to taking medicine to consolidate, patients will worry about changes in their condition and complications or postoperative recovery. We can comfort patients and ask them to rest more and maintain a good mental state to promote the healing and recovery of postoperative trauma. If you have hypothyroidism, you can take appropriate medication according to the doctor's instructions. Of course, you can also use Chinese medicine. In addition, to prevent tumor recurrence, avoid spicy and irritating foods.

Most thyroid cancer patients experience pain symptoms, and patients can be guided to use relaxation techniques or self-hypnosis to reduce their sensitivity to pain. It can be seen that psychotherapy for thyroid cancer plays an increasingly important role in the treatment and development of thyroid cancer. Maintaining an optimistic mental state and a healthy psychological state plays a positive role in the treatment and prevention of thyroid cancer.
