I was diagnosed with cervical cancer on the eighth day of the first month of 2010, and it will be 11 years in a few days, so I'd like to share with you a few observations that I think you should be aware of in this nearly 11-year journey against cancer.

First: to overcome the fear. Cancer is a terminal disease in people's mind, and people will die soon after getting cancer, so they are very afraid of it, and they can't eat well and sleep uneasily, and their hearts are haggard, and over time, their physical strength and physical ability will decline, and their immunity will decline, which is not conducive to the treatment of the disease. There are many cancer patients who die of cancer not because they are sick, but because they are scared to death by the word "cancer". When I was hospitalized, there was a cervical cancer patient who talked with everyone the night before about how to go to the surgery the next morning, but she died just after she reached the elevator and was scared to death because of excessive tension.

Second: calmness of mind. Do not think about anything, do not care about anything, less angry. Gas hurts the body, gas is the source of all diseases, so think about everything, a good state of mind is a good medicine for health.

Third: more exercise. You can't always stay at home, you have to go out and breathe fresh air, let off steam, and do what you want to do. There are many ways to exercise, I like money the most, so I go out to work, every day looking forward to payroll, the days go by very quickly, every time I get a paycheck, it's very valuable.

Fourth: Be regular in your work schedule. Eat at the right time every day, go to bed by 10pm and get up at 6.30am. Three meals a day.

Fifth: pay attention to the diet ride, with ensure nutritional balance. No taboos, avoid partiality. Eat more silkworm chrysalis, red dates, pig's feet, tomatoes.

These are my 11 years of experience in the fight against cancer, and I hope that I can give you a glimpse of what I can do to help.

secondly

Health is 1, wealth, status, knowledge, love, friends ...... are 1 behind the 0, no health, all for 0. Cancer has become a fact that can not be changed, but cancer is complex and diverse, and can not be directly equated with death, the patient's desire to survive is also the right, so how to face the disease after cancer patients? What things should we pay attention to?

It is natural and normal for patients to pursue cures and treatments! Certain cancers with low malignancy and early staging are very likely to be cured, but for the vast majority of middle- and late-stage cancers, it is basically unlikely to be cured with the current medical technology, and the purpose of the treatment becomes to alleviate the symptoms, improve the quality of life, and prolong the survival time. If the purpose is clear, we should not strive to "overcome cancer", "defeat cancer", etc. Otherwise, it may be a waste of effort and money, and may even be detrimental to the treatment and the survival time.

Choosing a correct and appropriate treatment plan is the most important thing. It is possible to improve "immunity" through exercise or keep a good mindset to fight cancer, but these alone are not enough, and we need to use treatment and external forces to fight cancer. Some people say, "How can I know whether the treatment plan is appropriate or not? Communicate more with your doctor, who will state the advantages and disadvantages of the treatment options as well as the costs, and consider your options calmly, and if necessary, seek a second hospital for treatment options.

Cancer treatment must be clearly staged, that is, we say early and late, to stage to choose the corresponding treatment program, for example, common cancer early we pursue surgery, cure, the middle stage is a comprehensive treatment based on surgery, the late stage will not do surgery, drug treatment.

Is it possible to treat cancer with "biased" or "secret" remedies? There are too many arguments, and there is really no need to argue. It is impossible to cure cancer, and the only role is "psychological comfort", so sometimes patients ask whether "biased" or "secret" prescriptions can be used, and whether they can be tried at a small cost. Therefore, sometimes patients ask whether it is possible to use the "secret formula", which costs very little, but it is not appropriate to say this.

Proper diet and healthy living are also things that cancer patients need to pay attention to. After all, patients are still physiologically different from other people, and dietary requirements such as easy digestion, lightness, small and frequent meals, etc. are determined according to specific circumstances, with the biggest principle being that patients are "comfortable" after meals. Many patients in the recovery process of life is completely self-care, which must be more activities and exercise, can not be static, generally recommended daily exercise of moderate intensity of half an hour, but also can not be too much intensity of activities and exercise.

Please trust and respect your attending doctor, they are your friends who work with you side by side, they didn't make you get the disease, you need their help. Some patients, or their families do not communicate with their doctors, and they always think that they are imagining their doctors and fighting against them. Imagine how much effort a doctor who is rejected by his patients can make.

I'm @Dr. Liu Yongyi , thank you for reading!

As an oncology nurse, I see people fighting cancer every day. But every time I see that they are finally defeated by cancer, my heart is always saddened by the thought that I can do something to help them, and I hope that the following suggestions can help.

(i) Eat well to fight cancer. Nutritional therapy has been recognized as one of the many methods and ultimate treatments for tumors. The dream of "starvation therapy", which was once rumored to be an attempt to starve cancer cells to death, will never be realized, because the person will die before the cancer cells are starved to death. Therefore, when the patient can still eat normally, please eat well. How to eat well?

(1) First of all, we have to make sure that there is enough protein in our diet, especially the proportion of high-quality protein should be half. There have been patients asked me, chicken or hen good, scaly fish good or scaly fish good, in fact, I would like to say, as long as the meat, eggs, milk and beans, are very good source of high-quality protein, the only reminder is to be able to eat meat, don't drink soup broth, broth, fat, purine content is much higher than the protein content, only protein is the body's cellular repair of the main body, so it is very unwise to abandon the meat and drink soup! So, it is very unwise to give up meat and drink soup.

(2) Secondly, eat more fruits and vegetables, including green leafy vegetables and cruciferous vegetables. In the past, green leafy vegetables were almost extinct in the winter in the north, and what impressed me most when I was a child was my mother's jars of various kinds of pickles in winter, and the long-time dietary habits have made people who are rich in material still accustomed to the company of pickles at the table, not knowing that eating pickles is one of the triggering factors of cancer. Therefore, it is recommended that tumor patients increase the intake of green leafy vegetables and cruciferous vegetables in their daily diet, in which dietary fiber, thioglucoside, vitamin C, potassium, magnesium and calcium have a protective effect on the prevention of tumors.

(3) Increase whole grain intake. The nutritional composition of refined rice and white flour is only carbohydrates and a small amount of incomplete protein, while germ rice, brown rice, millet, oats, buckwheat, whole wheat flour, quinoa and other whole grains can be supplemented with its lack of dietary fiber, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients, an additional daily intake of 9g of whole grain foods can reduce the risk of colorectal cancer.

(4) For patients who can not eat or eat a small amount of food to meet the needs of the body, you can choose oral nutritional supplements, but not the market publicity of a certain special-effect food, you need to go to the nutrition department of a regular hospital or ask nutrition experts to consult, in the hospital or other regular channels to buy special medical food, can meet the needs of the body of each nutrient, and the proportion of the reasonable class of food.

(ii) It is important to keep a calm mind. I remember there was an ovarian cancer patient of my age who finally left after two surgeries, countless chemotherapies, intestinal stoma and other treatments. The resignation in the eyes of a thin, tough woman on her way out was heartbreaking. Many celebrities die young, the age of cancer is getting younger and younger, in addition to bad habits, psychological factors can not be ignored, maintain a calm state of mind, learn to adjust emotions, moderate release of pressure, from time to time to get together with old friends to talk about the day, come to a trip, or even go to the psychiatric clinic on a regular basis for treatment, are all caring for their own methods, the world is beautiful, in addition to realizing their dreams, there are really poems and The world is beautiful, besides realizing dreams, there are really poems and faraway places.

(c) Nothing can stop exercise. Even if you are a tumor patient, you have to find a suitable way of exercise to keep your life moving. If you can't run, you can hit the piles; if you can't go downstairs, you can do Tai Chi, Baduanjin and other gentle exercises in the house; even lifting mineral water bottles frequently can increase the muscle content, and there is no end to movement.

Cancer can be said to be a very common disease nowadays, almost every hospital above the county level will have an oncology department, which also reflects the number of tumor patients from the side. We can also hear our neighbors talking about stomach cancer, XXX, XXX, XXX, XXX, XXX, XXX, XXX, XXX, XXX, XXX, XXX, XXX, XXX. I heard that I went to X hospital to have an operation, saying that it is lung cancer....... This kind of speech will ring around from time to time, which also shows the high incidence of cancer.

Cancer is a chronic disease, the formation of cancer tumors is not overnight, modern medical research on the occurrence of cancer and the body's low immunity is related to the immune system, especially the immune surveillance function, so in the treatment of cancer in addition to surgery, radiotherapy, interventional, targeted and other treatments, as well as nutritional supportive therapy and immunotherapy.

After a person has cancer, many people will be afraid of it, so much so that there is the word "talk about cancer", in fact, this attitude is not desirable, but will exacerbate the development of the disease, and even recurrence, metastasis. We know that the occurrence of cancer and the body's immune system is closely related, then we should improve the immune system, starting from the habits of life, such as diet, living, exercise, emotions, four major aspects. Emotions are the most important, there is a saying that "the first thing to do is to maintain the heart".

Said a good point, when a person's state of mind, positive and calm, the person's state of mind will be better, the immune system will be improved; when a person's mood is low or impulsive impulsive fury, the person's ability to judge will be reduced, to make irrational moves, the human cells are also so that the immune cells will naturally be emotionally blinded by the eyes of the cancer cells escaped from our immune surveillance, so that the cultivation of a positive Therefore, it is necessary to cultivate a positive state of mind, a good mood, and confidence in life. There is a colleague in my neighborhood who is in the middle and late stages of stomach cancer. After the operation, he started to exercise actively and embraced the pursuit of a better life in the future, from looking forward to the marriage of his unmarried child to watching his little granddaughter grow up, driving his child to and from school, and now he is watching his child go to college, which is more than twenty years ago, so it is important for him to have a positive and optimistic attitude towards life. There was also a special tea party on the 20th anniversary of our colleague's fight against cancer.

Of course, there is also a regular life to help improve immunity, no longer eat and drink, overeating, home-cooked meals, light diet is the best, Chinese medicine is not that "the spleen is the foundation of the day after tomorrow", "the spleen is the source of qi and blood biochemistry," which also explains the importance of the spleen, the importance of the digestive system, a regular life is the best way to nourish our digestive system. The importance of the digestive system, regular life is the best way to maintain our digestive system.

Regular sleep and living, is the best way to nourish the spirit, when we are sleepy, do things are easy to make mistakes, when we sleep beautifully, the next morning will get up refreshed, excellent immunity, so it is important to cultivate good sleep habits. Nap is also essential, we will find that when the noon nap, 15-30 minutes, the afternoon of the efficiency is also very high, that also shows that our immunity is also very good, so learn to sleep is also a good way to improve immunity.

Of course, there is also exercise, exercise to grasp a degree, back and forehead slightly sweating can be, so that our body's blood circulation, promote metabolism, eliminate the body's metabolic waste is conducive to improve immunity. So that immunity is improved, the prevention of cancer as well as the prevention of recurrence and metastasis has great benefits.

If it is difficult to do the four aspects described above, especially emotions and sleep, you can find the appropriate department or doctor to assist with the treatment, such as psychological counseling to solve the emotional, find Chinese medicine doctors through Chinese medicine acupuncture or Chinese medicine and guidance to regulate sleep, are good choices.

Therefore, it is not scary to have cancer, what is scary is to lose confidence in life. Putting down all psychological burdens, regaining confidence and planning life scientifically and reasonably, you can surely overcome cancer. Mr. Kazuo Inamori of Japan saved Nikko and made it become one of the top 500 companies in the world after his surgery for stomach cancer. Believe in yourself, cancer is not scary!

I got breast cancer in 19 years, according to the doctor is a high recurrence of that kind, so I strictly follow the doctor's advice: do not eat honey, do not eat royal jelly, eat less soy products, three months to review once. Then I searched for myself, avoid smoking and alcohol, avoid pickled products, even my favorite pickles to avoid eating, alas.

Cancer patients of digestive system, such as liver cancer, stomach cancer, esophagus cancer, gallbladder cancer, colorectal cancer ......, etc., should take small and frequent meals in their diet plan, do not gorge themselves, and do not consume large quantities of meat and fish (after all, most of the meals are buffets or sumptuous Chinese food), especially the greasy food. Do not eat too much of oily food, avoid raw food or cold food, and avoid excessive animal protein and constipation for patients with hepatobiliary cancer. In addition, some cancer patients who have received artificial anus should ask their attending physician how to keep the artificial anus clean and hygienic before traveling. Pancreatic cancer patients who have had their pancreas removed should pay attention to the stability of their blood glucose, and in some cases may need to carry insulin with them to control their blood glucose.

Some patients with lung and bronchial cancers may have undergone partial lung resection or even laryngeal cancer patients may have undergone pneumonectomy, and they may have symptoms of respiratory discomfort or even dyspnea, so it is advisable to inform the airline company of this condition before boarding the airplane, and they may prepare some portable oxygen cylinders for you to meet your emergency needs, and some specific phlegm remedies or bronchodilators should be carried with you. You should also carry some specific phlegm or bronchodilators with you.

Cancer patients who have undergone caesarean section should pay attention to whether they have normal bowel movement every day, because some people will be constipated once they travel; and patients who have undergone abdominal surgery may have varying degrees of intestinal staining lesions, resulting in poor bowel movement, or even abdominal pain; and some patients may even need to undergo emergency caesarean section in order to solve the problem; therefore, such patients should not eat too much and should pay attention to smooth bowel movement when they are traveling. Therefore, it is best for these patients not to eat too much while traveling, and should pay attention to the smooth flow of bowel movements.

Although the severity of hematologic cancers such as leukemia and lymphoma cannot be seen from the outside, patients with these cancers need to be careful to avoid colds or upper respiratory tract infections, which can lead to sepsis.

Nasopharyngeal cancer patients who have undergone so-called electrotherapy (radiation therapy), which results in dry and tasteless oral mucosa, may have more difficulty eating and drinking, but this can be overcome.

Cancer patients such as breast cancer and cervical cancer have better stamina than other cancer patients and their physical condition is the same as that of normal people, so there is less need to worry.

Traveling abroad is an exciting thing for anyone, but if anyone does not have a good health plan in advance, it will make the trip full of unforeseen crises; therefore, if cancer patients can make a complete health plan before traveling, they can avoid unnecessary illnesses or comorbidities, and also have a happy getaway trip, don't you think so?

Talk about my personal experience, I am 36 years old, I found out lung cancer in December 15, after surgery and radiotherapy, after the end of the treatment has been taking traditional Chinese medicine, regular checkups, just finished the checkups everything is normal.

First of all, generally speaking, the disease is caused by the interaction of internal and external factors, such as bad living habits, smoking, drinking, staying up late, environmental pollution, long-term exposure to toxic substances, etc., under the action of these external factors, resulting in gene mutation tumor formation, so the first thing that tumor patients need to do is to change the bad habits, as far as possible to get out of the harmful environment.

Secondly, is also the most important, adjust the psychological, everyone's mental capacity is different, suffering from a tumor no one can not have a little fear, especially young people, from the initial psychological collapse, do not dare to accept the fact that later on the panic is the common experience of most people, but still need to be self-courage, after all, as long as the day did not die, there is still a chance. Self-confidence re-establishment process, around the help of friends and relatives is also very important, according to the individual character traits should be given different care, personality to be strong, without too much comfort, proper care is enough to treat him as a normal person will make him more comfortable, the character of the weaker, then you need to friends and relatives of the careful care and support and so on. Some people can also be pacified inwardly through religious beliefs.

Overall, adopting good habits as well as rebuilding your confidence are the most important steps in the fight against tumors.

Some people are afraid of talking about cancer and are very shy to talk about the topic of "cancer". In fact, the more you are afraid of it, the worse it will be. Face it openly.

Birth, old age, sickness and death are natural laws. No one can escape it.

What to look out for in case you get cancer?

1, the mind is very important. A lot of people who have cancer do not let cancer kill them first, but scare them to death first. Thought the end of the world, the sky is falling, every day in extreme despair, pain, panic, anxiety, in fact, it is not necessary, as death is like home mentality to face frankly, do not complain about heaven and earth, since the unfortunate, although it is said to be light, to be optimistic, but optimism does not rise, it does not matter, and should be more kind to themselves, after all, the body is their own, life is only one time, try to be able to afford to do what you want to do to go and do it. I don't think it's a good idea to think about it. It is important to take the cancer celebrities as a motivation, think about people are still good, they are also good. Faith is the key.

2, to understand some medical knowledge related to cancer, have a correct understanding of the disease, the heart to have a number. What should be done.

3, as long as it is not a missed opportunity for treatment, must go to the three regular hospitals to find the relevant experts consulting, more than two or three public hospitals consulting, multiple views for reference, choose the best treatment party tight, with the doctor, standardized treatment, should be confident, must be oh win. But do not trust Chinese medicine, folk remedies.

4, if it is advanced, really can not be treated, then simply give up reluctant treatment, do not do ineffective treatment, can eat, want to eat, want to eat, want to play, really to the point of no longer able to do, while there is still a little bit of strength left to walk around, choose a way to euthanasia good.

Dietary preparation for cancer patients should pay attention to the following points: 1) Supply protein food that is easy to digest and absorb, such as milk, eggs, fish, soy products, etc., which can improve the body's anti-cancer power. Among them, milk and eggs can improve protein disorder after radiotherapy.

2) Eat a moderate amount of sugar to replenish calories. High-dose radiation therapy patients, can make their body's sugar metabolism was destroyed, glycogen dropped sharply, lactic acid in the blood increased, can not be reutilized; and insulin insufficiency aggravated. Therefore, glucose supplementation is more effective, and it is also advisable to eat more honey, rice, noodles, potatoes and other sugar-rich foods to supplement calories.

3) Eat more food with anti-cancer effects, such as turtle, mushrooms, black fungus, garlic, seaweed, mustard greens and royal jelly.

4) Vitamins A and C have the effect of preventing cell malignancy and proliferation and increasing the stability of epithelial cells. Vitamin C also prevents the general symptoms of radiation injury and increases the level of white blood cells; vitamin E promotes cell division and delays cellular senescence; and vitamin B1 promotes the patient's appetite and reduces the symptoms caused by radiation therapy. Therefore, more food rich in the above vitamins should be eaten, such as fresh vegetables, fruits, sesame oil, cereals, beans and animal offal.

5) Patients with radiotherapy and chemotherapy are generally advised to eat cool food and cold drinks, but patients with cold sensation are advised to eat hot food.

6) Diversify diet, pay attention to color, aroma, taste and shape to promote patients' appetite; adopt steaming, boiling and stewing methods to cook food, avoid indigestible food and forbid drinking alcohol.7) For those who have difficulties in chewing, swallowing, digestion and absorption caused by various parts of tumors after surgery and those who are lacking in special nutrients, different diets and supplementation of deficient nutrients can be given according to the situation.

Also.To participate in some appropriate physical exercise and recreational activities. The patient's physical condition is relatively poor after the end of treatment, and appropriate increase in some physical exercise such as playing tai chi, walking, jogging, etc. can help to strengthen the physical condition and promote the recovery of the body. Participate in some cultural and recreational activities such as listening to music, chess, painting, fishing, etc., so that the patient out of the home, and contact with the surrounding population, which can make the patient get rid of the disease, reduce the patient's ideological burden, relax the patient's mood!

Anesthesiologists who specialize in cancer talk about cancer!

Cancer is a very unfortunate thing, but a fortunate thing, because cancer will give you enough time to say goodbye to the people you love, the people who love you, and this wonderful world! That's why some people say that cancer is a terminal illness, but others say that cancer is the gentlest of terminal illnesses!

Comments Off on What do I need to be aware of after cancer?

state of mind

Relax and face it openly! This is easy to say, it will be very difficult to do, how many people can frankly look down on life and death, but people will eventually have life and death, after suffering from cancer, double the remaining time to cherish, the food should be eaten and drink, is something do not put aside in the heart!

Try to live today! Work on tomorrow! Spend time with your family, let go of everything that makes you angry and everyone that embarrasses you, live in the moment, and be happy!

therapeutically

Moderate treatment, cancer is not always terminal, there are many cancers that are basically the same as normal people as long as they are operated on, such as certain types of thyroid cancer. However, for some cancers, surgery can only make you suffer more and prolong your life, such as pancreatic cancer. Pancreatic cancer surgery is complicated, traumatizing, with many post-operative complications, and the surgery itself is extremely risky! Post-operative recovery and surgical results are unsatisfactory! So cancer, treat with caution!

For cancer treatment, I think the combination of Chinese and Western medicine is a hard truth, Western medicine treats the symptoms and Chinese medicine treats the root cause. Western medicine treats the symptoms and Chinese medicine treats the root cause. The efficacy is better when both the symptoms and the root cause are treated! Because there are many people around me who are treated with a combination of Chinese and Western medicines, according to my observation, it can reduce pain and increase the survival period!

Life and work

Cancer is a slow disease, and I don't think it's necessary to give up your life and work to get treatment, you should work and live normally for as long as the disease allows! Let me tell you a story!

My colleague's husband, eight years ago found leukemia, after chemotherapy to control the disease, even during chemotherapy, he also insisted on normal work and life, until after retirement, but also to the Calligraphers Association to serve, this year are sixty-five, but also back to the unit every day to insist on going for a walk, writing, exchange of ideas! Holidays will also take his partner driving tour! These years have not because of work exhaustion and disease relapse, nor because of the triviality of life and frustration and loss, has always been happy to live well every day! It is worthwhile for every cancer patient to learn from the positive work and upward life!

As the saying goes, any disease "three points to cure, seven points to feed", here the feed is not not labor, but to emphasize the healing of the disease or to curb the development of the disease, the best way is to look at their own conditioning, the mind is very important! Therefore, after suffering from cancer, the collapse of the mind is the biggest enemy!
