With the continuous progress of medicine and various means of treatment, the cure rate of cancer (malignant tumor) has improved significantly and the survival period has been greatly extended. However, the role of patients and their family members is equally important in the process of fighting with cancer. Today we focus on what the patient side (patients and family members) can do to better cooperate with the treatment, improve the survival quality of cancer patients and achieve better results. Firstly, as the medical research on malignant tumor continues to deepen, we have realized that although cancer is localized, it is a systemic disease, so the treatment is not only local treatment or “everything (surgery)”. Therefore, the treatment should not only be local treatment or “everything (surgery)”, but also a systemic plus local treatment plan to achieve better results. Secondly, with the prolongation of survival of cancer patients, long-term treatment of tumor is needed, and we should be prepared for long-term treatment in terms of concept, psychology, medical expenses and family life, that is, we should treat tumor as a chronic disease. Thirdly, do not “throw yourself at doctors”, but go to regular hospitals and take standardized treatment. Thirdly, do not “seek medical advice”, but go to regular hospitals and take standardized treatment. Do not believe in “partial prescriptions to cure big diseases”. Not only will delay the disease, but also may be “cheated”, “empty”. Psychological adjustment After getting cancer, patients or their family members are prone to panic, despair and negative thinking. It should be emphasized that many researches show that negative emotions such as tension and anxiety are important factors in the development and aggravation of cancer, and conversely, emotions also have significant effects on treatment and prognosis. Therefore, while treating cancer, psychological adjustment of patients is equally important. Psychological adjustment includes the following points: face the reality – since you have got the disease, you should face it positively and frankly, don’t over panic and don’t be pessimistic and disappointed. Modern medicine has many means, and cancer is no longer an incurable disease. Cure, remission, survival with tumor, prolonging life, etc. are all easy to achieve. Relaxation – Instead of being sad and worried all day long, it is better to relax your mood, leave the treatment to the doctor, actively adjust your mind, cooperate with the treatment, try to relax, arrange your life well, and be optimistic, positive and calm. Some studies have shown that the immune cell activity in the body of optimistic people is much higher than that of depressed people. Change yourself – the body is sick, is the siren has sounded, the process of treatment is also the process of thinking, the process of self-reflection. Should change the original bad habits, such as smoking, drinking, poor diet, etc.; improve the negative emotions, such as good sulking, suspicious and worried, stressful thoughts, etc.; slow down the pace of work, such as taking the opportunity to rest, put down work, change the paranoid personality, and so on. This may bring a new sense of life. When the psychological change and mood is relaxed, it will make the treatment go more smoothly and the effect will be better. Most of the cancer patients with good treatment effect are more optimistic and positive in cooperation. The role of Chinese medicine cannot be ignored Chinese medicine has a history of more than two thousand years in treating cancer. In the current treatment of malignant tumors mainly by western medicine, the role of Chinese medicine cannot be ignored. The role of Chinese medicine is obvious in post-operative tumor recuperation, reducing toxic side effects of radiotherapy, supporting the righteousness and eliminating the evil in advanced stage patients, improving the quality of life, local medication of tumor, improving symptoms and overall adjustment. At the same time, the role of TCM in supporting the righteousness has its unique effect on improving the physical constitution, enhancing immunity, and cultivating the spleen and stomach. At the same time, it should be noted that Chinese medicine should not be used in the treatment of tumors, and should not be used in a superficial way, or in a western or eastern way. Also, you should not be biased to avoid being “fooled” by some charlatan doctors and delay the best treatment time. The specific medication should go to a regular medical institution and find a professional herbalist according to the patient’s condition and dialectical treatment. Family life care is also an essential part of tumor treatment. It includes diet, nutrition, care, psychological guidance and care, as well as accompanying and reassuring patients with mobility problems. It is important to note that cancer patients are not as comfortable as possible, and excessive care is not love. Patients with certain physical strength that does not affect their activities should be encouraged to do housework and sports within their ability and participate in certain recreational activities, which can not only enhance their physical fitness but also divert their attention. Patients with stable condition can resume certain work. In short, the family life of cancer patients should be more elaborate, including diet, living, activities and emotion regulation, to ensure a warm and comfortable recuperation environment for patients. It should be emphasized that cancer treatment is a protracted war, and even if the tumor has been cured by surgery, recurrence and metastasis should be prevented. It is necessary to adhere to the regular follow-up treatment and regular review. Patients surviving with tumor need to be psychologically prepared for a long time, to fight against tumor for a long time, to preserve physical strength at all times, and not to do anything that excessively consumes physical strength and energy. The family members of cancer patients also have to endure long-term psychological, mental, physical and financial tests, and have to fight with the patients for a long time. Finally, the high cost of cancer treatment should not be ignored. With the increasing popularity of the health insurance system and the continuous improvement of policies, the burden in this area will be gradually reduced.
