Have faith in the future, hope for tomorrow, follow the steps in this article, and cancer will be farther and farther away from you! Medical Tumor Assistant highly recommends: Three Steps to Successfully Fight Cancer! Part I: Adjust your mood and deal with it positively When being told that you have cancer, the first reaction of many people is panic, and subsequently, many negative emotions will come down like heavy dark clouds, such as depression, anxiety, confusion, indignation, hatred, fear and impatience …… which are difficult to be resolved. The manifestation of these emotions varies from entry to entry, or intense, or hidden, or persisting for a long time, or appearing from time to time. How to take the first step to fight against cancer? A good psychological protection becomes essential. As the saying goes, “if you know yourself and your enemy, you can win a hundred battles”, so let’s start from knowing ourselves and take this crucial step. (1) “Panic” stage: When you are hit by the word “cancer”, which is close to death, even a strong person will not turn a blind eye to it. Within days or even months of receiving the news, the world in your eyes is not the same as before. (2) The “avoidance and non-acceptance” stage: denying the truth, “Did the hospital make a mistake and put someone else’s test results on my head?” (3) “Gradually learn to accept in pain” stage: the mood of escape is gradually broken, anger, despair and frustration in the heart ebb and flow. (4) “Continue to live in adaptation” stage: finally accept the fact and integrate into the next treatment and life, in the continuous struggle with cancer, life is sublimated. 2.Adjusting mood and preparing for positive response “Since we found out that we have cancer, there is nothing to say, we must hurry up to cure it!” This is the eager wish of many patients and relatives, but doctors should warn you: cancer is a chronic disease, please adjust your mood, find a healthy state of mind, and prepare for long-term treatment. Part 2: Be prepared and look for external help 1. Stop working and change roles People usually play many roles in the society, the mainstay of the unit, the head of the family …… has got the disease, first of all, we have to learn to play the role of the patient. When the patient still have to play? Yes. In the clinic we found that many people are reluctant to accept such a role out of a sense of responsibility for their career, attachment to their family, and concern about the disease, and the role is misplaced. So there is a need to put aside the usual work, reduce the care of the family, and accept the care of the loved ones. In a sense, take care of yourself, is to take care of the people around you. 2, do not wait, the gas is closed Other people will take a more negative attitude, in action and psychological over-dependence, it turns out that they can do also let the family do, emotional vulnerability, willpower is diminished, for the hospital environment poor adaptability. This kind of dependence will lower the immune function, reduce the confidence and ability to resist diseases, and is not conducive to recovery. The Book of Zhouyi says, “As the sky is healthy, a gentleman should be self-improving; as the earth is kun, a gentleman should be generous with his virtue.” It is said that people should run like the sky, even if they are uprooted, they are indomitable; like the earth, there is nothing that cannot be carried. To treat the disease, one should face it head-on, not give in to it, and cultivate the spirit of resilience. 3.Find external help To treat tumor, we should try to find the most suitable medical technology and doctors. With the continuous progress of society, people’s division of labor is becoming more and more detailed, and so is the medical treatment. As the saying goes, “a line of work is like a mountain”, you cannot ask a computer network specialist to have all the knowledge of image processing, and you cannot ask a general physician to have more knowledge of tumor than a tumor specialist, so when you are sure you need to see a doctor for intestinal cancer, please choose to go to a tumor specialist hospital. Part 3: Learning knowledge and establishing files Although you are not any medical expert, taking the initiative to learn some anti-cancer knowledge can help reduce blindness and fear, and also help communication and exchange with doctors in the future. Some people who have tumors still avoid mentioning “cancer”, so if they deceive themselves, they will fall into the trap of “doctors”. (1) Learning the experience and lessons of successful cancer fighters to improve their own anti-cancer measures (this is a highly recommended learning content). (2) Knowledge of self-rehabilitation against cancer: including life and living precautions, healthy eating habits, appropriate sports programs, etc. (3) Knowledge of conventional treatment in Western medicine: including surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, new treatment methods, etc. (4) Knowledge of comprehensive TCM treatment: according to the different stages of disease development (pathological stages), adopt corresponding treatment measures that highlight the characteristics and efficacy of TCM, or comprehensive TCM treatment alone, or combined with conventional Western medicine treatment, and strive to make its efficacy better than conventional Western medicine treatment alone. (5) Treatment of adverse reactions in response to measures. 2.Establish your own “anti-cancer file” After being prepared mentally and in action, you should learn to be a clear patient. Master your own physical condition and pay attention to your treatment. Provide accurate information to your doctor. To help you more effectively, the following information can be recorded for reference: (1) Record when you first experienced symptoms, describe it, and recall if you tried to treat yourself at that time. (2) Record the name of each hospital you have visited for tests done and when, especially what the doctor told you was abnormal. (3) Record the hospital where you received treatment, especially the time, the main treatment methods and procedures, and your own reaction, the best effect you felt and the most uncomfortable symptoms. (4) Observe and try to record the changes in your body, such as: weight, food intake, and activity level. (5) Try to keep the original documents or copies, such as laboratory slips, results of various tests, etc. (6) Try to keep the imaging data, such as CT films, X-ray films, etc. Be sure to remember your outpatient number, hospitalization number, pathology number, etc., so that you can find the original hospital information if necessary.
