Winter begins on the day of the first day of winter and lasts from the first day of snow, the first day of snow, the winter solstice, the first day of cold, and the first day of spring. The climate in winter is characterized by cold weather, cracking of the earth, bitter wind from the north, latent vitality and hidden yang energy, which is the season for everything to sting and hide. In this cold season, how should tumor patients maintain their health? What is the difference between the health care of tumor patients and that of the general public? The winter health care of tumor patients should follow the requirements of general people’s winter health care and avoid some health-threatening problems that may occur in winter. For example, to prevent respiratory diseases, to prevent aggravation of cardiovascular diseases, to prevent frostbite and fracture, to enhance nutrition, to actively take tonic, etc. Besides these, the winter health care for tumor patients should be more related to the prevention and treatment of tumor diseases. Therefore, it is also necessary to pay attention to some of the following health care issues. First, actively protect against cold and prevent infectious diseases. Although the winter weather is cold, if there is no rain or snow for a long time, plus the air is dry, various viruses and bacteria may be spread in the air. Winter is prone to respiratory tract infections, light wind and cold, heavy influenza virus infection. Not only the respiratory tract should beware of infection, but also other parts of the inflammatory disease should be prevented. Tumor patients, especially those after chemotherapy, have low immunity and are very prone to various diseases. The recurrence and metastasis of tumor will be more frequent. The prevention method is to pay attention to keep warm, open windows and ventilate in time, go out less and go to less crowded public places. At the same time, improve immunity. Eating foods rich in vitamins can also play a certain role, and if necessary, you can apply some drugs that can improve the body’s resistance. Second, the night is long and the day is short to sleep more. In terms of modern science, good quality sleep can improve the body’s immunity. The repair work of damaged cells in the human body is done during sleep. Once the cell repair work goes wrong, theoretically speaking, there is a possibility of abnormal cells, and further development will develop into cancer. Therefore, good sleep is vital. The long night time, short day time and late dawn in winter make it just right to sleep more. Of course, we are not advising people to sleep through the night, but we still want to have proper activities. Nor is it about sleeping all day, but about getting enough sleep and good quality sleep at night. Excessive sleep and lying still is not good. Too much is not enough. Third, the grass and trees wither to adjust the mood . Winter grass and trees wither, the elderly, long-ill people, sentimental people, often see touchy-feely, emotional sadness and depression. Tumor patients, more likely to have sad feelings. This is not just the poet’s sentimentality, but actually there is a scientific reason. With less sunlight exposure in winter, the pineal melatonin secretion inside the human brain increases, which can make people depressed (seasonal affective disorder syndrome or hypothermic depression). And the importance of human mood changes and psychological changes on human immune function has been known by most people, especially for tumor patients. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the mind actively in winter and keep a positive and good state. Increase nutrition to improve immunity. Chinese medicine says that “spleen and stomach are the basis of the afterlife”, the afterlife is after birth, the growth and development process and the whole metabolism need to have the material basis, that is, the digestion and absorption of food, so it is said that “spleen and stomach are the basis of the afterlife”, eat well, good appetite, that means Good digestion, good liver function, rich in nutrients to improve human immunity. Some sayings are inaccurate, such as don’t eat too well, eat too well for cancer cells to absorb, to “starve cancer to death”, etc. In fact, that will starve the patient to death. In fact, that will starve the patient to death, not the cancer cells. Cancer cells have a different mechanism to absorb nutrients from normal cells. If they eat too little and suffer from malnutrition, cancer cells will still break down the body’s own fat and protein to obtain nutrients. Therefore, cancer patients are unable to keep up with nutrition in the late stage, so their immunity is poor and tumors grow fast instead. Therefore, to control cancer, the most crucial thing is to standardize treatment, not to skip nutrients. Medically speaking, to increase nutrition, one should eat more foods with high quality protein content such as milk, eggs, fish, etc., and more fresh vegetables and fruits (500g/day). Fruits are important and contain vitamins. Although there are also in vegetables, but once the vegetables are cooked vitamins are lost, the fruit is original and works well. Do not drink alcohol, alcohol has a cancer-promoting effect, not only liver tumors can not drink, other tumors can not drink, even beer can not drink. Don’t smoke, there are also carcinogenic substances in smoke. There is also timely hydration. In winter, it is usually dry and water is easily lost in the body, resulting in dry stool and thick sputum, which will have a great impact on the recovery of colon cancer and lung cancer patients, so they should replenish water in time, drink more water and eat more vitamin-rich food such as vegetables and fruits. Fourth, get up and live normally and exercise moderately. In the treatment and recovery of cancer patients in winter, they should pay attention to “regularity in starting and living and no delusional labor”. We should be cautious in starting and living, adapt to the climate and avoid evil spirits. Firstly, we should pay attention to the combination of movement and static, and moderate work and rest. The movement should be diverse, including physical exercise, qigong, taijiquan, dance ……, etc. The “quiet” to “adjust the spirit”, not only to pay attention to overwork is gas consumption, but also to be vigilant over escape is gas congestion. Second, we should pay attention to the gradual progress, should not be too hasty, to understand that speed is not achieved. Third, we should pay attention to perseverance, especially worth mentioning is that when certain physical discomfort or signs of recurrence of the disease, should promptly consult a doctor or examination, not blindly superstitious exercise. Fourth, we should pay attention to the combination of emotional and spiritual adjustment, the “practice body” and “practice heart” organic combination. Five, insist on drug conditioning. The recovery of symptoms in cancer rehabilitation treatment, including the recovery of certain damage to the body in tumor treatment, must also rely on drug conditioning. It is necessary to understand that cancer is a chronic disease and requires long-term treatment to prevent recurrence and metastasis. Together with the adverse effects and toxic side effects of radiotherapy, long-term medication regimen is essential. Some patients will have recurrence and metastasis in more than 10 years, therefore, some patients need lifelong treatment. Most of the cancer patients will be averse to treatment after 1.5 years of treatment, which is a problem that patients, their families and doctors should pay attention to and be prepared for in advance. Scientific “tonic”. Winter is the season for tonic. In the rehabilitation treatment of cancer patients, the issue of “tonic” is often involved. On the one hand, this is because many patients have “deficiency” in different degrees, on the other hand, many tonic medicines have immunomodulatory effect and can suppress cancer by supporting the righteousness, so the use of tonic method is more widespread. What cancer patients need to pay attention to is not to take tonic indiscriminately. Some patients ask their doctors to take tonic for them in autumn and winter, or even “secretly” take tonic themselves, which eventually aggravates their disease. This violates the principle of “tonic for deficiency” in TCM theory, which makes the evil Qi stay in the body after tonic. In cancer treatment, it is very important to tonify the spleen and stomach. The spleen and the stomach are the basis of the postnatal period and the source of Qi and blood biochemistry. Cancer often occurs due to damage to the spleen and stomach, and the cancer treatment process often damages the spleen and stomach. Therefore, in the treatment and recovery of cancer, the importance of spleen and stomach regulation becomes more prominent. It is advisable to choose sweet and light medicines to regulate the spleen and stomach, “avoid congestion and tonicity and avoid nourishment”, and pay attention to slow adjustment and take time. In addition, we should also pay attention to the fact that medicinal tonic should be combined with dietary tonic and pay more attention to divine tonic. In cancer treatment and recovery, the scientific and correct use of tonic medicine to enhance the physical fitness of patients and to overcome cancer successfully is an issue that both doctors and patients should pay attention to. 7. Avoid trauma and prevent fracture. In winter, there are more rain and snow, the roads are cold and slippery, and many patients themselves are senior citizens with osteoporosis and easy to fracture. Then again, many tumor patients, such as breast cancer patients, are prone to osteoporosis after long-term drug treatment, and bone metastasis patients are more prone to fracture. Therefore, you should try to avoid going out in winter on rainy and snowy days to avoid slipping and falling, which may cause fracture. Eight, keep warm and protect the skin. Some chemotherapy drugs have neurotoxic side effects, causing numbness of hands and feet, trembling of limbs, etc. In the cold winter, many patients have long-term chemotherapy and numbness of hands and feet, which is aggravated by cold days. Patients who use drugs such as oxaliplatin should be very careful to avoid the cold in winter. Patients in the treatment period often need infusions in winter, because they are afraid of the cold and infusion, which sometimes leads to drugs exposed outside the blood vessels, which is very unsafe. Therefore, it is important to avoid chemotherapy drugs leaking outside the blood vessels. If this happens, in addition to being handled by a specialist, local ice compresses can be applied, and hot compresses should never be applied, and topical compresses such as Jinhuang San should be used after 24 hours. Patients with radiotherapy should pay attention to the care of irradiated skin, keep local skin clean and dry, prohibit the application of adhesive tape and irritating drugs, avoid stimulation of irradiated skin by mechanical substances, do not let the treatment area be subjected to excessive friction, the patient’s underwear should be soft and the collar should not be too hard. Avoid sunlight, if the ulcer has crusted, the scab should not be removed by hand.
