2. Patients with breast cancer should treat their diseases correctly.
How to nurse after breast cancer surgery? Once some patients get breast cancer, they will misunderstand it as "cancer = death", resulting in nervous, fearful, suspicious and painful psychological reactions, which is understandable. However, tension, fear, doubt and pain can not make the disease better, but will aggravate the development of the disease. So, how can patients get rid of it and treat the disease correctly, so as to overcome the disease?
⑴ Face the reality and cooperate with the treatment: Once breast cancer is diagnosed, you should actively cooperate with doctors to complete various treatment plans so that it can be cured. Never increase mental burden or even mental breakdown, which will only aggravate the condition, and even if formal treatment is taken, its curative effect is not as good as that of ordinary people, and the prognosis will be correspondingly poor. Patients should be prepared to endure all the pains and complications caused by treatment and cooperate with doctors as much as possible, so that the whole treatment plan can be successfully completed and create good conditions for overcoming the disease.
⑵ Regular life and reasonable nutrition: Breast cancer is one of the most effective cancers, and most patients can survive for a long time. After the recovery period after treatment and a certain period of follow-up, ordinary patients can return to work and do some work within their power. During the convalescence at home, we should overcome the disease optimistically, arrange our daily life in an orderly way, and do breast self-examination on time every month. Life should be regular, with proper outdoor activities and exercises, such as aerobics, Tai Ji Chuan, and necessary recreational activities. To do a good diet, strengthen nutrition, eat less fat and fat. Eat more vegetables and fruits, and quit smoking and drinking.
⑶ Follow-up regularly to master the condition. Patients with breast cancer should be followed up for life after treatment. Follow-up can find out whether there is recurrence or metastasis as soon as possible, so as to find it early and take timely treatment measures.
3. The family members of breast cancer patients should cooperate with the treatment.
The success of breast cancer treatment can not be separated from the cooperation of doctors, patients and their families. Patients and doctors are just doctors and patients. What pains, doubts, fears, worries and thoughts patients have in their hearts are told to their closest family members first, but doctors can't fully understand them. Therefore, in addition to caring for patients in daily life, the family members of patients should also cooperate with doctors to carry out some psychotherapy, persuade patients to insist on completing various treatments, and understand and accept the complications and sequelae that may be caused by any treatment, so that patients will not be resistant to treatment. When the patient is depressed, painful, rude and restless, the family members should try their best to alleviate the patient's pain and give positive comfort and encouragement mentally and ideologically. In a sense, alleviating a patient's pain is equivalent to increasing the body's anti-cancer power.
Breast cancer patients may have some side effects during chemotherapy and radiotherapy, causing various symptoms of digestive tract discomfort. At this time, family members should try their best to meet the dietary requirements of patients and make some nutritious, soft and delicious meals as much as possible. During the period of leukopenia, in order to prevent various infections, family members urged patients to avoid contact with too many people and go to public places less.

Therefore, whether it is a hospital follow-up or a reply to a follow-up letter, family members should try their best to assist in the completion. This is not only beneficial to the treatment of patients, but also provides a lot of information and data for the research of breast cancer, which is conducive to the development of breast cancer prevention and treatment.
4, breast cancer patients do not need to avoid eating.
Taboo is a common problem for most cancer patients. In particular, the popular sayings such as "no chicken", "no crab" and "no egg accumulation" make patients and their families timid and at a loss. Postoperative patients with breast cancer need adequate nutritional support to ensure that the treatment plan can be carried out as planned. Therefore, cancer patients need better nutritional supplements.
The so-called "taboo" is essentially an interaction between disease, medicine and food. Traditional Chinese medicine has long had a taboo. Taboos are mainly due to the needs of the disease itself and the need for medication. During and after radiotherapy and chemotherapy, the taste and appetite of breast cancer patients may decrease. The digestive tract function is also temporarily normal. At this time, the patient's diet should be nutritious, and some efforts should be made in color, fragrance and taste, with the principle of eating light and digestible food. What needs to be emphasized at present is to prevent the expansion of "taboo". For cancer patients, you can eat not only eggs, but also chickens. There is no need to avoid both. It is worth reminding that cancer patients had better not drink or smoke, because it will weaken the digestive function and immune defense mechanism of the body. Aggravate the adverse reactions caused by radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Moreover, after drinking alcohol, the blood vessels in the body are dilated and the blood circulation is active and vigorous, which may promote the metastasis of cancer cells and must be prevented.

At this time, patients should realize that this is only temporary pain to a certain extent, and consciously overcome these side effects with optimistic spirit and tenacious will, and insist on eating some digestible and nutritious food in moderation to ensure that the body can accept and complete various treatment plans on time.
⑵ Diet should be moderate, but not excessive: Overnutrition and obesity have adverse effects on the occurrence and development of breast cancer. Therefore, in the long-term life of breast cancer patients after treatment, we should adhere to the principle of moderate diet and not overeating under the premise of ensuring nutritional needs.
⑶ Reasonable choice of food: Proper choice of food is beneficial to the prevention and treatment of breast cancer. These foods include kelp, sea cucumber and other seafood, because a variety of anti-tumor active substances can be extracted from seafood; Necessary vitamins and electrolytes can be supplemented by beans, vegetables and fruits. Of course, these foods can vary from person to person, from time to time and from place to place, and there is no need to insist on consistency.
