A, breast cancer patients during chemotherapy matters needing attention

Chemotherapy is one of the treatment methods of breast cancer, but although chemotherapy has a good therapeutic effect, it is often accompanied by different degrees of side effects. If patients can pay attention to the following matters during chemotherapy, it will help to alleviate the side effects and pain of chemotherapy.

1. During chemotherapy, patients should often massage the blood vessels of limbs, such as rubbing the backs of hands and feet and participating in Qigong exercise, which can increase local blood circulation and blood vessel elasticity and better protect local blood vessels, but it is necessary to avoid self-hot compress.

2. If you feel pain or abnormal sensation during chemotherapy injection, you should tell the nurse in time, and don't swallow it, so as to avoid complications caused by strong local stimulation of drugs or accidental leakage of liquid medicine.

3. It is best not to take a hot bath within 24 hours after drug injection, so as not to burn the injected local skin. In addition, you should also avoid the water being too hot when washing your hands. If the local skin has reaction or pain, it should be iced under the guidance of a nurse in time, and local drugs should be used if necessary.

4. Because patients need to use antiemetic drugs during chemotherapy, most patients will have discomfort symptoms such as abdominal distension or constipation, such as eating more fresh fruits and vegetables and getting out of bed as much as possible after infusion, which is of great help to relieve discomfort symptoms.

5. Drink plenty of water during chemotherapy, such as chrysanthemum crystal sugar water, jujube medlar water, dried tangerine peel crystal sugar water, etc. Increase drinking water and reduce nephrotoxicity.

Second, the diet of breast cancer patients during treatment

lymphadenectasis

After the occurrence of breast cancer, it can invade lymphatic vessels and transfer to its local lymphatic drainage area. Among them, the most common site of lymphatic metastasis is ipsilateral axillary lymph nodes, and ipsilateral axillary lymph nodes are swollen. The number of swollen lymph nodes will increase with the aggravation of the disease and cluster with each other, and a few patients will have contralateral axillary lymph nodes metastasis.

Metastatic symptoms

Unlike other cancers, breast cancer can metastasize at an early stage and then move to other places with the development of the disease.

Husband's love and understanding will make patients feel supported. Therefore, husbands should keep a good mood in front of patients, be considerate and understand patients, and create a warm family atmosphere.
