by Vivek Choudhary Nice life

Chemotherapy is generally used to treat cancer patients by using powerful drugs to kill the growing cancer cells in the body. People often get nervous about going through this process. It is indeed absolutely normal to feel anxious before starting any type of medical procedure, but being prepared will help to calm down, release the stress and anxiety.

Here are 4 ways which can help you prepare for your chemotherapy:

1.     Clear your doubts with your oncologist: Askthe team who helped you throughout your cancer treatment about how is your body doing. They will know better as they have been treating you and all your reports are being studied by them. Ask them that under what circumstances will you have nausea and how to deal with that so you are prepared. The Oncologists at Paras Health Care, the cancer hospital in Gurgaon will address any doubts or concerns you have about the changes your body goes through.

 

2.     See your dentist before starting the chemo process: Your oncologist will suggest you to check your oral health for any signs of infection. Ensure you have healthy oral health to avoid future complications when you undergo chemotherapy.Ensure that you have bought all the medicines from the pharmacy and have a clearly written prescription of how and when to consume it.

 

3.     Eat healthy and hydrate: Have a lot of rich foodsloaded with calorie/carbs or protein as per your body’s requirement. The oncologist in Gurgaon at Paras Health care will guide you if you should take any nutritional products or supplements. Stock your kitchen with vegetables, fruits and go-to protein snacks as chemotherapy might make you drowsy. Look for easy home remedies for treating nausea, like ginger tea is considered as the best natural remedy for treating nausea.

 

4.     Journaling: While it is obvious that you will be very tired but journaling will help you understand your body better. Write the dates of chemotherapy, how many hours you slept, what you ate in your mealtime, if you have any symptoms of nausea or drowsiness. This will also help the team in understanding your progress.

Cancer and its treatment process will be overwhelming keeping a positive attitude helps to deal with it. Keep yourself occupied; meditation is recommended for releasing stress.
