Many cancer chemotherapy patients have catheters, the most common one is PICC catheter, which is usually protected by plastic film before going home. However, when taking a bath at home, use plastic wrap as temporary protection to avoid damaging the plastic film that fixes the protective catheter, which will lead to the exposure and pollution of the catheter and accidental disconnection.

In addition, we should go to the professional dressing change clinic in time according to the doctor's advice, and carry out routine management and nursing such as washing the catheter and local disinfection and dressing change.

I believe everyone knows that chemotherapy is harmful to patients. But for cancer patients, only chemotherapy can effectively control the spread of cancer cells. Cancer patients must pay more attention to rest after chemotherapy, and eat more healthy food in daily life.
