How to care for liver cancer after diagnosis Liver cancer patients need to do three nursing tasks

There are many treatments for liver cancer, but liver cancer is not an easily cured disease. During the treatment process, everyone should also pay attention to their own care. Liver cancer is very harmful. Patients must face the disease actively and not ignore the harmfulness of the disease, but also do not lose hope of survival.

1. Psychological care. Now we have entered an era where cancer can be treated. Family members can enhance their knowledge and strengthen their confidence in treatment through the Internet and popular science books. The patient's age, personality and cultural level should be considered when informing the doctor of the disease. For patients with low cultural level in the advanced stage, especially those with fragile spirits, the condition can be relatively concealed and comforted, so that they can receive treatment as quietly as possible, or help patients with advanced liver cancer to spend the rest of their days. This will not only enable patients to better face diagnosis and treatment, but also help to establish a good doctor-patient relationship and increase patients' compliance with treatment.

2. Exercise appropriately. Liver cancer patients who can return to work should do so as much as possible (it must be light physical labor). This is because patients are idle at home all day and will always think of themselves as patients, which will increase their mental burden and be detrimental to recovery. Appropriate exercise, returning to work and working with their co-workers, can help them let go of their mental burden to a certain extent, which is good for their health.

3. Diet care: The diet should be light. Since most liver cancer patients have impaired liver function, the diet should be light and easy to digest. It is not advisable to eat too much high-protein and high-fat food, because high-protein and high-fat diet will increase the burden on the liver and kidneys, and may even induce hepatic encephalopathy (the liver's detoxification ability decreases, excessive protein decomposition produces a large amount of ammonia that accumulates in the blood, enters the brain and causes the patient to have mental symptoms or even coma and death). In addition, spicy, irritating and rough foods should also be avoided, because patients with primary liver cancer are prone to portal vein cancer thrombus, causing portal hypertension, esophageal and gastric fundus varicose veins. Once the diet is improper, it may cause upper gastrointestinal bleeding in patients, which is life-threatening.

We cannot ignore active nursing work. As family members of liver cancer patients, we must pay more attention to it. Liver cancer is a very difficult disease to cure, so we must do a good job in disease prevention to avoid the trouble of the disease and prevent the disease from endangering our health.
