by Vivek Choudhary Nice lifeChemotherapy 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.
