Liver occupancy is usually detected in two ways, either from a healthy physical examination or from physical discomfort, such as vague pain in the liver area, loss of appetite, or weight loss.
When initial screening images, such as ultrasound, reveal suspicious occupancies or elevated liver cancer markers (such as methemoglobin), this information can indicate the possibility of liver cancer.
In the absence of further confirmation of the diagnosis, there are at least three things you need to do as a patient and family to be prepared.
Psychological preparation
Keep a calm mind and do not be overly stressed or anxious.
Even if you are diagnosed with liver cancer, you should face it with a positive and calm attitude, which is more conducive to the subsequent treatment and more helpful in overcoming the cancer.
Physical preparation
Prepare for the near future by prioritizing rest, and if it was a stressful pace of life, this is the time to slow down. Also maintain a balanced diet and basic nutrition.
Economic preparation
You can learn about the local health insurance policy in advance, especially in the case of off-site medical treatment, the procedures for handling major medical insurance and the scope and percentage of reimbursement.
