Malignant tumor is a common and frequent disease that seriously endangers people’s life and health, and the death rate accounts for the first cause of death. In the past half century, due to the advancement of science and technology, the continuous research on the biology of tumor and the improvement of treatment methods such as surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, the 5-year survival rate after treatment has increased from about 20% in the 1950s to about 50% now, but recurrence and metastasis are still the main causes of death. The rehabilitation phase refers to the stage of recovery of cancer patients after treatment by a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and Chinese medicine. It includes patients’ physical rehabilitation, psychological rehabilitation and vocational rehabilitation to restart social work. First of all, the complexity of the recovery period of cancer patients. We know that cancer is a kind of complex and extremely harmful disease, which not only causes local and even systemic damage to the body, but also brings great psychological trauma to patients, resulting in mental disorders or disorders, thus weakening or losing the ability to live and work. After taking active and reasonable treatment for cancer patients and getting the tumor under control or eliminated, increasing the survival rate, prolonging the survival period and improving the quality of life are the main objectives of cancer patients’ rehabilitation at this stage. It involves many aspects such as medicine, nursing, psychology, sociology, ethics, nutrition and so on. China’s traditional medicine, such as Chinese medicine, acupuncture, qigong, massage and tui na also play a non-negligible role in tumor rehabilitation. Therefore, the methods and means used in the whole rehabilitation process should also be comprehensive. Secondly, the holistic nature of the recovery period of cancer patients. In my medical practice, I feel that the treatment and rehabilitation of cancer patients should be a whole. In terms of tumor treatment, a comprehensive treatment plan should be formulated after the patient is diagnosed. What herbal medicines and what dosage should be used before and after surgery, during and after radiotherapy should be considered according to different patients and different pathologies. Treatment and rehabilitation must be planned as a whole for different cancer types and patients’ own conditions. In addition, the long-term nature of the recovery period for cancer patients. We must fully realize that it is wrong to think that everything is fine after the tumor is removed, radiotherapy is done and Chinese medicine is used. Malignant tumor is a kind of systemic disease, and there is an antagonistic relationship between the lesion and the organism, and the occurrence and development of tumor and the anti-cancer ability of the organism are mutually restrained and growing. For most patients, local treatment often cannot achieve the purpose of eradication, and the cancer cells in blood cannot be eliminated. Therefore, in the treatment of tumor, not only the elimination of tumor foci, but also the anti-cancer ability of the whole organism should be paid more attention. This requires patients to have the idea of long-term anti-cancer in the recovery stage, and some even have to fight against cancer for a lifetime. What do tumor patients need to pay attention to during the recovery period? To prevent recurrence and metastasis during the recovery period. After surgery and radiotherapy, many people think that the tumor is completely gone and they are fine, but after several years or even more than ten years, it recurs and metastasizes again, so it is not possible not to pay attention to the treatment during the recovery period. First, regular checkups and timely treatment are needed. Patients in recovery period should check whether there is any abnormality in various indexes every 3-6 months, if there is any abnormality, they should be treated with high dose of medicine urgently, and if there is no abnormality, they can be treated with small dose of maintenance, generally it is best to take anti-cancer Chinese medicine for 10 days every month. However, many people often neglect the maintenance treatment during the recovery period, and are so afraid of the recurrence and metastasis that they think there is no hope. There are many patients with liver metastasis of intestinal cancer, brain metastasis of lung cancer and bone metastasis of breast cancer who have all disappeared through several months of treatment. One patient who had liver metastasis and lymphatic metastasis of stomach cancer in 1992 has been well through treatment until now and is over 70 years old. If everyone pays attention to the maintenance treatment during the recovery period, there are many people who will not die from cancer and will be able to extend their lives. Don’t believe what others say that you will be fine after surgery and radiotherapy, especially for early stage patients, if you don’t take necessary treatment in time after surgery then you will pit yourself and no one’s will count when you have a relapse. Relay therapy during rehabilitation can effectively prevent cancer recurrence and metastasis. Secondly, we should pay attention to psychotherapy. A healthy person with disease will certainly produce corresponding psychological changes, and the psychological changes of tumor patients are more obvious. Tension, anxiety, uneasiness, loneliness, fear, resentment, sadness, depression and other psychological imbalances appear in different degrees. These phenomena will also repeatedly affect the normal recovery of patients. Therefore, medical and nursing staffs should provide psychological guidance to patients, lift their psychological barriers and establish the belief of overcoming cancer; patients’ family members should also take care of them, help patients get out of the shadow of cancer and treat life with a positive attitude; patients should cooperate with treatment and recovery with a good attitude. Patients should not complain about God, be discouraged and give up on themselves, but use their new life to prove the value of life. A rural woman in Heilongjiang was cured of lung cancer after 4 courses of treatment with shock therapy, and in order to repay the love and care of society and her family, she actively did “talk therapy” for cancer patients by telephone and encouraged them to live with her personal experience. She lived a more valuable life than the average healthy person. Thirdly, we should pay attention to diet therapy. Many people get cancer from eating. For example, moldy peanuts and rice contain aflatoxin, which can induce liver cancer. Guangdong has more nasopharyngeal and stomach cancers, which are related to the consumption of salted fish and salted meat through investigation, and can induce stomach cancer. We should pay attention to diet health and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits to reduce the incidence of cancer. When you have cancer, you should not ignore the dietary therapy, which is very beneficial to treatment and recovery. For example, pig’s blood can stop bleeding, replenish blood and fight against cancer; mushroom polysaccharide in shiitake mushroom has anti-cancer effect, and lily has coughing and lung moistening effect. Eat more soy products, red dates, red beans, garlic and other foods. In the recovery stage, cancer patients should try to improve their appetite, advocate eating mixed food, have light and tasty meals, match meat and vegetables, and have a relaxed environment and happy mood when eating. Fourth, be regular and exercise appropriately. Regardless of work and rest time, study and entertainment should be regular. Regular life can make the body in normal working condition, so that the recurrence and metastasis of tumor will have no chance to take advantage of. Appropriate exercise is the best way to keep fit, cure and maintain the disease.
