You must know these things about cancer recovery

Cancer rehabilitation refers to helping patients improve their physical and (or) psychological dysfunctions, social impairments, and reduced professional abilities caused by tumors and their treatments to the greatest extent possible through comprehensive guidance and treatment, striving to prolong life or even cure the disease. It mainly includes psychological rehabilitation, nutritional rehabilitation, cancer pain rehabilitation, and physical function (physical) rehabilitation. Treat each stage of suffering from a malignant tumor calmly, and adjust the inner pressure by sublimating the suffering you face, such as imagining each process as climbing a hill, giving yourself a reward after climbing "a hill", and setting a stop loss point in your heart.

1. Organize your thoughts and make a list

Make a list of coping strategies as quickly as possible, and record them one by one in order of priority in a fixed notebook, such as life preparations for hospitalization; arrangements for family life and work; financial needs and solutions, especially listing the current status and development trends of the disease; questions related to treatment, etc.

2. Adjust your daily routine after illness

3. Dealing with the progression of the disease

4. Dealing with economic difficulties

5. Pain management

What can families do?

(1) Adjust your mood as quickly as possible, understand the patient's overall condition in a timely manner, and assist the doctor in helping the patient choose a good treatment plan.

(2) Inform the patient of the condition selectively based on the patient's individual situation: For patients with introverted or negative personalities, it is necessary to keep the information confidential or choose a step-by-step approach to inform the patient. For patients who are strong and optimistic or who already know that they have a malignant tumor, the attending physician should give a scientific explanation to avoid the patient's random guesses and blind fears. Do not deceive the patient with unrealistic lies.

(3) Show more patience and understanding than usual, and encourage patients to have the confidence to defeat the disease.

(4) Find an outlet for your emotions. Learn to take some time out from your busy schedule to talk to a friend or have a good cry. Give yourself a chance to get a good night’s sleep or clear your mind through meditation.

(5) Grief processing: There are three stages of grief response: shock and escape (hours to weeks, or even months), the second stage: facing the disintegration stage (months to two years), and the third stage of acceptance and reconstruction (months, years, or even a lifetime). All three stages involve physiological, cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and social function reactions. People feel strong guilt and self-blame for the deceased, feel that the deceased still exists, and are unable to restore normal social, social, or work abilities. They may develop depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety disorder, transient mental disorder caused by grief, and eating disorders, which may cause physical and mental symptoms such as stomach pain, headache, and insomnia.
