Self-care when you have cancer

How to deal with yourself when you develop cancer or intractable disease in the future

As an experienced person, I would like to show you how to deal with intractable diseases.
Suppose you have cancer and your doctor tells you. At this point, I think it’s very difficult to keep your thoughts and mind calm.
I think that the doctor in charge is also recommended to accompany someone in the family when making the announcement.
When you are notified, you may be shocked and unable to communicate normally or even eat. Even if you watch TV as a distraction, you will not get rid of “cancer” from your head and your thoughts will be blocked.
Especially in the case of the onset of a death-like illness such as “cancer”, I think it will be very painful and painful until the treatment is started.
And above all, “loneliness” dominates the mind, and it is expected that emotional instability will occur.
From the time I was notified to the time I was treated (surgery), I was constantly feeling lonely and had a very difficult experience.
To deal with this feeling of loneliness, cuddling by relatives such as family members is the most effective and warms the patient’s heart.
I think it is effective for the people around me to behave cheerfully and interact with them, but when the patient himself goes to bed, he feels lonely again.
However, strangely enough, the feeling of loneliness diminishes a little as the treatment begins, the interaction with the doctors and nurses increases, and the time to share the day increases.
Perhaps the cause of this is that my treatment begins and I can see my hopes and goals for the future a little further, which makes me feel lighter and easier.
I personally remember that the change in my mind was very large before and after the start of treatment.
First of all, when you are notified of a major illness such as cancer, we recommend that you ask the people around you to be as close as possible to avoid emotional instability. To that end, I think it is important to talk to the people around you about your illness and gain their understanding.
Also, in order to reduce the mental burden on the patient, discuss with the patient a specific treatment plan and step-by-step target points. We recommend that you also consult with your doctor about this. We recommend that you do not worry about anything by yourself and ask the people around you for their cooperation.
