 Chemotherapy patients

Hello friends, how are you? Today I am bringing you about what to do with chemotherapy patients. Chemotherapy patients Chemotherapy is a type of treatment that kills cancer cells. In most cases this chemotherapy is injected directly into the blood with liquid or saline. In some cases it is also given as tablets or capsules. When mixed with blood, these drugs try to destroy the cancer cells in the body where the cancer has spread. However, in most cases, cancer patients are afraid to take chemotherapy. As a result, they take treatment late or often do not take therapy. If you have cancer, it is not right to do it and you have to overcome that fear and take therapy. Side effects There may be some temporary side effects during chemotherapy. For example: hair loss, loss of blood cells, anemia, loss of appetite and nausea, inflammation of the esophagus, ulcers, diarrhea, constipation, tingling of fingers and toes, changes in skin and nails, fever, infections, loss of immunity, body Headaches, headaches, loss of consciousness, fatigue, depression, etc. However, not all patients have these problems. Adherence to treatment and rules can lead to much less problems. Remedies Toilet areas and hands should be thoroughly cleaned before each meal or after using the toilet. This can prevent infection. People who have infections such as colds and coughs should be kept out of contact and their body temperature should be normal. In case of anemia, iron rich foods or iron tablets should be taken. If necessary, blood can be taken on the advice of a doctor.

► Bleeding is more than normal due to low platelets. If there is a slight cut on any part of the body, you have to protect yourself from the injury of sharp objects, especially needles, knives, scissors etc. Use gloves if necessary. If the bleeding does not stop, a doctor's advice should be taken. A soft toothbrush should be used instead of a hard toothbrush when cleaning teeth. To eliminate nausea, if necessary, the medicine should be taken according to the instructions. If necessary, eat small meals throughout the day. Drink more water. If you feel nauseous while taking chemotherapy, you should take it a few hours before. Drink plenty of water to reduce constipation. Eat fibrous foods and if necessary you can take lactulose. In case of diarrhea, drink plenty of water (2-3 liters). If necessary, Orsaline should be taken on the advice of a doctor. Fibrous foods such as vegetables, fruits, wholemeal bread and cereals should be avoided during chemo. Sunscreen creams, ointments, lotions etc. can be used if skin changes are noticed. It is better to cut the hair before giving chemotherapy. This will reduce the pain of hair loss. Use a hat or scarf if necessary. It is better to brush lightly with a soft toothbrush after every meal. If you have a sore face, you should take the advice of a doctor. ► Chest pain, shortness of breath should consult a doctor. Must live in a room with clear light and air. If necessary, meditate, read good books, pray — it will keep the mind calm. ► Take full rest and have courage. Not work. Do not be emotionally broken in any way. Conquer cancer with mental strength.
