Chemotherapy is a very common method in tumor treatment. What are the precautions for tumor patients during chemotherapy? Keep emotional stability Clinical practice shows that patients who have doubts and panic during chemotherapy often have heavier adverse reactions during chemotherapy, while patients who are open-minded and generous have lighter reactions. Therefore, all tumor patients who need chemotherapy should hold the confidence of winning and accept chemotherapy in a happy mood, so as to reduce the adverse reactions and achieve the best therapeutic effect. To arrange diet reasonably Patients will have gastrointestinal reactions such as mouth ulcers, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting or diarrhea during chemotherapy. Patients should eat light, nutritious and easy-to-digest food. You can often eat some lean meat, fish, dates, peanuts and other foods. This is very helpful to prevent or reduce the decline in blood cell count caused by bone marrow suppression. If the patient shows symptoms of anemia, eat more animal liver or heart, egg yolk, lean meat and spinach, prunes, oranges, grapefruit and figs. More edible mushrooms rich in polysaccharides such as shiitake, mushroom, monkey head mushroom and fungus should be eaten to improve the body’s immune function and inhibit the growth and reproduction of cancer cells. Patients should drink more water when using chemotherapeutic drugs such as cyclophosphamide, which are mainly excreted through kidneys, in order to reduce the damage of drugs to kidneys. Pay attention to protect the skin Patients who have skin damage during chemotherapy should strengthen the maintenance of the skin and prohibit the use of irritating detergents. If dermatitis or hyperpigmentation occurs, do not scratch or apply ointment indiscriminately. If hair loss occurs, the protection of scalp should be strengthened to prevent sun exposure. Avoid pregnancy Female tumor patients should avoid pregnancy during chemotherapy because a considerable part of chemotherapy drugs have the effect of causing mutation and teratogenicity. Pay attention to the prevention of infection As chemotherapy drugs can inhibit the bone marrow and immune function of the human body to different degrees, making the body’s ability to resist diseases decline, thus making the patients prone to a variety of infectious diseases. Warm tips Patients in the chemotherapy period should do regular life, work and rest, and ensure sufficient sleep. In addition to being bedridden, patients should take appropriate exercise to enhance the body’s ability to resist disease and avoid infectious diseases as much as possible.
