4 Steps for You to Help Yourself During Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is a word that causes dread in most who hear it. It
is a time of stress as well as risk. If you, or someone you
know, are facing chemotherapy, these four simple steps may help
get through the process with better spirits and better results
as well.
1. Tell your doctor if you get side effects from treatment
You can't expect the possibility of relief from side effects if
you do not share them with your doctor. Be sure to communicate
with your doctor. Some people keep a health journal during and
after treatment to improve the information you have to present
to your doctor if problems arise more gradually. Discuss what
you might keep in a health journal that might improve the
effectiveness of your treatment.
2. Ask your doctor before you take any other medicine
All drugs operate by manipulating some normal cell function.
This includes the chemotherapy drugs as well. These
manipulations may conflict with the intended effects of your
chemotherapy treatment. Even herbals, or an over the counter
pain reliever can lead to unintended consequences. Always inform
your doctor before taking any other medications.
3. Take care of your health
There are many things you can do to support the natural ability
of your body to restore, protect and defend itself from
the
effects of injury and disease. Seek to improve your diet, find
ways to reduce other sources of stress in your life and be
thankful for the hope and opportunity you have because of your
treatment. These things can have a remarkable affect on your
body and your feeling of good health.
4. Talk about your feelings
These are stressful times. Don't keep your feelings bottled up.
People you know and love are probably feeling stress too. Help
each other by being open about what you are going through. By
being open with others, you can feel more in control of the
stress and trepidation you're feeling, instead of those things
being in control of you.
Self-help can never take the place of professional health care.
Ask your doctor and nurse any questions you may have about
chemotherapy. Also don't hesitate to tell them about any side
effects you may have. They want and need to know.
