The care of breast cancer patients is essential in a number of areas, including diet, psychology, living habits, therapeutic cooperation and follow-up. The following are detailed recommendations for the care of breast cancer patients:
A balanced diet: Breast cancer patients should be nutritionally balanced, with more fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains and low fat proteins.
Avoid stimulating foods: Reduce consumption of spicy, high sugar, high fat, high salt and hormonal-rich foods so as not to affect disease recovery.
Maintaining appropriate weight: Controlling weight and avoiding obesity helps reduce the risk of re-emerging breast cancer.
II. Psychological care
Actively facing diseases: Breast cancer patients often face greater psychological stress and need to actively face the disease and maintain a good mindset. Seeking support: Families and health-care providers should provide adequate care and support to patients and help them build confidence in overcoming disease. Psychological guidance: regular psychological counselling or relief from psychological stress and anxiety through listening to music, walking, etc.
III. Improving living habits
Regularity: keep regularity, get up early, avoid staying up late and ensure adequate sleep.
Appropriate exercise: Appropriate exercise, such as walking, yoga, Tai Chi, etc., on the advice of a doctor, contributes to physical rehabilitation and psychological adjustment.
Avoid tights: do not pass through tights, so as not to affect the blood circulation of breasts.
IV. Therapeutic cooperation and observation
Medical compliance: treatment is strictly in accordance with the doctor ‘ s treatment programme, including surgery, treatment, chemotherapy and endocrine treatment. Observation of flow tubes: After the operation, the family should observe the colour, volume and nature of the liquid in the patient ‘ s fluids in a timely manner and, if unusual, inform the doctor in a timely manner.
Functional exercise: After the operation, the patient shall, under the direction of a doctor, perform functional exercise, such as lifting a finger against a wall, combing a hair, etc., to restore the upper limb function.
V. Periodic review and follow-up
Periodic medical examinations: periodic breast self-inspection and mammograms, as well as CT or B super-inspection, to detect cases of re-emergence or transfer of breast cancer at an early stage.
Follow-up visits: Follow-up visits are conducted regularly after the completion of the treatment to obtain information on the recovery and to adjust the treatment programme in a timely manner.
Social and family support
Establishment of support systems: Breast cancer patients and their families should take the initiative to set up support systems, including family and friends, support groups for cancer patients, etc., from which emotional support and practical advice can be obtained.
Educating families: families should be informed about the basics of breast cancer, including treatment programmes, possible side effects and how to help. Family understanding and support are essential for patients.
Participation in social activities: Encourage appropriate participation by patients in social activities, such as cancer prevention campaigns, rehabilitation lectures, etc., which help to increase their sense of social belonging while spreading positive energy.
In the light of the above, care for breast cancer patients needs to be comprehensive and detailed, including dietary adjustment, psychological care, improvement of living habits, co-operation and observation of treatment, and regular review and follow-up. The implementation of these care measures helps patients to better cope with diseases and improve their quality of life.
