Discharge guidance for postoperative lung cancer patients includes the following aspects: 1. Mindset: After surgical and other treatment measures, lung cancer is entirely possible to be cured. Therefore, you should have a correct understanding of your condition and the side effects during treatment, and make sure to maintain an optimistic and cheerful mood, firmly believing that you will be able to overcome the disease. Only by adjusting your mind, establishing confidence and actively cooperating with the treatment can you mobilize the internal anti-disease mechanism of your body, and negative pessimism is very detrimental to recovery. 2, diet: maintain a normal diet, do not taboo, all kinds of food as long as it is light, fresh, rich in nutrients, easy to digest can eat, do not eat or eat less spicy and stimulating food, prohibit smoking and alcohol. 3, maintenance: you should pay attention to the maintenance of the respiratory tract, pay attention to the cold and warm climate changes, try to avoid colds, if the occurrence of upper respiratory tract infections, should promptly seek medical treatment with drugs, thorough treatment, to avoid pneumonia. Do not stay in places with dirty air and avoid inhaling second-hand smoke. 4. Discomfort: If you still have some irritating cough, you do not have to be nervous because after lung resection, the bronchial stump may cause coughing during the healing process, and you should pay attention to the phlegm that must be coughed out in time. If the phlegm is sticky, you can take some expectorant medications such as Mucosolvan. If the cough is more serious and affects your rest, you can take some cough suppressants such as compound licorice combination, federal cough suppressant, etc. If you feel a needle-like pain and numbness in the surgical wound, it is related to the nerves of the chest wall cut off during the surgery, you should be patient, and the discomfort will slowly subside after several months. 5.Follow-up: You should insist on long-term regular follow-up, which is very important. You should review every three months for two years after the operation, then every six months, and after the fifth year, it can be extended to once a year. Your doctor will review your chest X-ray, chest CT, abdominal ultrasound, and other tests such as whole-body bone scan and cranial MRI as needed. If you have any other questions, you are always welcome to consult with us. 6.Chemotherapy: If you need to receive post-operative chemotherapy, it usually starts 3-4 weeks after surgery. The side effects of chemotherapy vary from person to person and are not as terrible as you think, so you do not have to worry too much. Anti-emetic drugs such as pivotan and obectin can be injected half an hour before chemotherapy to reduce gastrointestinal reactions. Chemotherapy is usually given once every 3 weeks for 4-6 times. Before each chemotherapy, blood test should be done to check the white blood cell and liver and kidney function, if the white blood cell is <3500 or abnormal liver and kidney function, then chemotherapy should be temporarily suspended. 7.Radiotherapy: If your doctor tells you that you need to receive radiotherapy, you should listen to the arrangement of the radiotherapy doctor and adhere to radiotherapy daily, usually starting 3-4 weeks after surgery, the course of treatment takes about 2-6 weeks. 8.Chinese herbal medicine: You can take Chinese herbal medicine, including Chinese patent medicine and Chinese herbal medicine, at the same time of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. It is recommended that you take the medicine under the guidance of an experienced herbalist, and do not take some so-called secret recipes or prescriptions casually to avoid the danger of toxic side effects. Please note that the claim that Chinese medicine has no side effects is completely false. If necessary, you can also apply some immunomodulatory drugs and biological products such as interferon under the guidance of your doctor to enhance the anti-cancer mechanism in your organism. 9.Tonic: You can take some health care products to speed up the recovery, improve the immunity and reduce the toxic side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. However, please note that the health care products market is confusing at present, so please do not believe in the untrue propaganda of some unscrupulous manufacturers and be alert to being cheated. If you need to take certain health care products, it is best to seek the advice of a doctor in advance. 10.Work: Due to the trauma of surgery, post-operative treatment is often supplemented by chemotherapy or radiotherapy, which requires a period of recuperation and recovery. After these treatments are over, you can rest for 2-3 months and gradually resume work depending on your physical condition, and you can generally perform any work except for heavy physical labor. Finally, we need to emphasize again that you must maintain an optimistic and cheerful attitude, firmly believe that it is possible to cure lung cancer, treat your condition and the side effects during treatment correctly, and actively cooperate with treatment, you will definitely be on the road to cancer recovery more and more smoothly!
