1. Breast cancer is not an incurable disease The statement that breast cancer is an incurable disease is obviously overstated today. For breast cancer, if effective preventive measures are taken to achieve early detection, early diagnosis and early adequate and effective treatment, then it will be cured. The key to make breast cancer a non-terminal disease that can be cured is early prevention, early diagnosis and early treatment. Some information shows that the 5-year cure rate of early breast cancer can reach more than 90%; early detection and early administration of effective treatment measures can not only improve the cure rate of patients, but also improve the quality of life of patients, so that they can live a healthy life. It is obvious that the key to change breast cancer from “incurable disease” to “cure” lies entirely in early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment. 2. Breast cancer patients should view their disease correctly. Some patients have the wrong understanding that “cancer = death” once they have breast cancer, and they have the psychological reactions of tension, fear, doubt and pain, which are all understandable. However, tension, fear, doubt and pain will not make the disease better, but will aggravate the development of the disease. So, how should the patient be freed from it and treat the disease correctly so as to overcome it? (1) Face the reality and cooperate with the treatment: Once the diagnosis of breast cancer is clear, you should actively cooperate with the doctor to complete various treatment plans so that the disease can be cured. This will only aggravate the disease, and even after taking regular treatment, its efficacy will be inferior to the general one, and the prognosis will be correspondingly poor. Patients should be prepared to endure all the pain and complications caused by the treatment, cooperate with the doctor as much as possible, so that the whole treatment plan can be completed successfully and create good conditions for overcoming the disease. (2) Regular life and reasonable nutrition: Breast cancer is one of the cancers with the best treatment effect and most patients can survive for a long time. Generally speaking, after convalescence and certain period of follow-up, patients can return to work and do some work within their ability. During the convalescence period at home, patients should be optimistic to overcome the disease, arrange their daily life in an orderly manner, and do breast self-examination on time every month. You should have a regular life, get up and down on time, with appropriate outdoor activities and exercise, such as health exercises, taijiquan, and other necessary recreational activities. To improve the diet, strengthen nutrition, eat less fat and fat. Eat more vegetables and fruits, and quit smoking and alcohol. After treatment, breast cancer patients should be followed up for life, which can detect any recurrence or metastasis as early as possible, so that early detection and timely response treatment can be taken. Family members of breast cancer patients should cooperate with the treatment The success of breast cancer treatment is inseparable from the mutual cooperation of doctors, patients and their families. Patients and doctors are only doctor-patient relationship, the first one to tell patients about their pain, doubts, fears, worries and ideas is their closest family members, while doctors cannot fully understand them. Therefore, in addition to taking good care of the patient in life, the patient’s family should also cooperate with the doctor in part of the psychological treatment, convince the patient to insist on completing various treatments, and understand and accept the complications and sequelae that any treatment may bring, so that the patient will not be resistant to treatment. When the patient is depressed, in pain, rude and irritable, the family should try to alleviate the patient’s pain and actively give comfort and encouragement in spirit and thought. In a sense, alleviating the patient’s pain is equivalent to increasing the body’s strength to fight cancer. During chemotherapy and radiotherapy, breast cancer patients may have some side effects, causing various digestive symptoms. During the period of leukopenia, in order to prevent various infections, family members should advise the patient to avoid contact with too many people and go to public places less often. After breast cancer surgery, family members should carry out post-operative rehabilitation exercises as soon as possible, help and supervise patients to protect the skin of edematous limbs, not to scratch them, and avoid handling heavy objects on edematous limbs. In addition, breast cancer patients need lifelong follow-up, which family members should assist in. Therefore, whether it is a hospital follow-up visit or a follow-up letter, family members should try their best to assist in completing it. This is not only good for the treatment of patients, but also can provide a lot of information and data for breast cancer research, which is beneficial to the prevention and treatment of breast cancer. 4.Breast cancer patients do not need to abstain from eating For most cancer patients, abstaining from eating is a problem with universality. Especially, there are rumors in the society such as “you can’t eat chicken”, “you can eat crab” and “you can’t eat eggs”, which make patients and their family members fearful and unsure of what to do. Post-operative breast cancer patients need adequate nutritional support to ensure that their treatment plan can proceed as planned. Therefore, cancer patients need good nutritional supplements. The so-called “avoidance of food” is essentially a matter of the interaction between disease, medicine and food. In Chinese medicine, it has been said for a long time that avoidance of food is the main reason for the disease itself. It is mainly due to the need of the disease itself and the need of medication. Breast cancer patients may experience a certain decrease in taste and appetite during radiotherapy, chemotherapy and for some time afterwards. The digestive tract function is also temporarily normal. At this time, the patient’s diet should be nutritious, with some efforts on color, aroma and taste, and the principle of eating light and easily digestible food. At present, we need to emphasize that we should prevent the expansion of “taboo”. For cancer patients, not only can they eat eggs, but also chicken, both of which are not necessary to be contraindicated. It is worth reminding that tumor patients should not drink alcohol and smoke because they can weaken the digestive function and immune defense mechanism of the body. They can aggravate the adverse reactions brought by radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Besides, after drinking alcohol, the blood vessels of the body are in a state of expansion and the blood circulation is active and vigorous, which may promote the metastasis of cancer cells and must be borne in mind. 5.Rational arrangement of breast cancer patient’s diet Breast cancer patients generally have no special dietary differences with normal people except that they need to take drugs during treatment or avoid eating according to medical advice due to changes in their conditions. The following dietary recommendations can be used by patients and their families for reference. (1) Diet should cooperate with treatment: breast cancer patients should try to eat before and after surgery to supplement nutrition. During radiotherapy and chemotherapy, due to the adverse effects brought by the treatment, the patient’s taste and appetite are reduced, which may produce gastrointestinal reactions such as nausea and vomiting. At this time, the patient should realize that this is only a certain degree of pain brought to him or her temporarily, and consciously overcome these side effects with optimism and tenacity, and insist on eating some easily digestible and highly nutritious food in appropriate amounts to ensure that the body can accept and complete various treatment plans on time. (2) Diet should be moderate and not excessive: excessive nutrition as well as obesity have adverse effects on the occurrence and development of breast cancer. Therefore, during the long-term life of breast cancer patients after treatment, they should adhere to the principle of eating in moderation but not in excess, while ensuring their nutritional needs. (3) Reasonable choice of food: It is beneficial to select foods that are beneficial to the prevention and treatment of breast cancer appropriately. These foods include seafood such as seaweed and sea cucumber, because a variety of anti-tumor active substances can be extracted from seafood; and foods such as legumes, vegetables and fruits, which can supplement the necessary vitamins and electrolytes. Of course, these foods can be adopted according to the person, time and place, and there is no need to force consistency. Breast cancer patients should have early rehabilitation exercises after surgery. After breast cancer surgery, patients will have certain degree of physical changes, which requires patients to have full ideological understanding and preparation, and cooperate with medical personnel with strong will and perseverance to carry out functional exercises of limbs in a planned and systematic manner to promote blood and lymphatic reflux of limbs, reduce swelling of limbs and restore normal functions as soon as possible. Generally, you can start to do forearm and elbow flexion and extension exercises and mastery on the first and second days after surgery, 10 times each time, about 5-6 times a day. On the third day after surgery, you can try the healthy side of the upper limb to help the operated side of the upper limb to do the front lifting action, so that the affected side of the limb is raised to the level of the head, 3-4 times each time, about 3-5 times a day. On the fourth postoperative day, the thumb of the affected limb can be held by the healthy side hand to help lift the affected limb upward until it exceeds the head, 3-4 times a day. On the fifth postoperative day, the affected elbow can be slowly lifted forward and upward by the healthy hand, over the head and as straight as possible, 2-3 times each time, 2-4 times a day. On the sixth postoperative day, the fingers of the affected limb could be used to gradually slide upward along the wall and gradually raise it, 2-3 times each time, 3-4 times a day. On the seventh and eighth postoperative days, the palm of the affected hand can be brought over the head and touched to the opposite ear, 2-3 times each time, 3-4 times a day. On the ninth postoperative day, the affected limb can be rotated with the shoulder joint as the axis. 2-3 times each time, 3-4 times a day. On the tenth day after surgery, you can try to lift the affected limb above the head 2-3 times each time, 2-3 times a day. After the tenth day of surgery, you can gradually do various exercises such as upper limb lifting, rotation and abduction according to your physical strength and wound healing. Of course, breast cancer patients should exercise gradually according to their actual condition, such as disease, age, physical strength, incision healing, etc. They should not be too hasty and should not do any exercise after surgery. 7. Modern medicine can meet the patient’s psychology of beauty Love of beauty is a woman’s nature. After breast surgery or breast reconstruction, early stage breast cancer patients can maintain their physical beauty and do not need to worry about this problem. However, some mastectomy patients are worried about the impact on their normal life and social activities in the future. The prosthesis is not only for the beauty of the body shape, but also can eliminate the symptoms such as shoulder muscle pain caused by the imbalance of the breast after mastectomy.
