Cancer care at home Alleviating the side effects of cancer treatment: After receiving surgery, patients will have symptoms of feeling uncomfortable because of changing the original structure of internal organs. Proper activities will help to alleviate these symptoms, but first of all, it is necessary to exclude whether there are related complications. After receiving radiation therapy, the skin is fragile, so be gentle to the skin and try to avoid scrubbing, exposure to the sun or wearing tight clothing. Try using some aloe vera-based ointment, which has a gentle, soothing effect. After receiving chemotherapy, it may cause low white blood cells, and at this time, immunity is low, so pay attention to avoid contact with some patients who have colds and flu, and pay attention to any fever or abnormal symptoms of yourself in time. Pain relief: Use appropriate pain medication according to the three-step pain relief principle for cancer, and also try some other relaxation techniques. Some notes for improvement: Consider joining a cancer support group for mutual help and support. Get plenty of rest and get a little exercise to maintain balance. Express your emotions honestly rather than forcing yourself to maintain a “positive attitude”. If you feel depressed or fearful at times, do not worry, these are normal feelings and reasonable reactions that will not affect your cancer. Enjoy your favorite activities, read a good book, listen to music, talk to friends, etc.
