Medical Video: LIVER CANCER | THE OUTCOME
People's reactions to various events must be different. Some people can easily handle a liver cancer diagnosis, while some others may have a difficult time managing their emotions. Here are some tips for managing emotions that you can try.
Accept the fact
One important factor in managing emotions is to be a more positive person, even though it seems impossible to do during a frightening medical treatment. Most people have the mistaken belief that being positive is like being cheerful. Even though being positive means recognizing and accepting all the frightening possibilities that can occur when you have liver cancer. You can change your feelings of annoyance and fear as an encouragement for you to keep moving forward. In addition, you must stick to what you believe to be right and don't let illusions that don't - do not discourage you. If you are forced, crying and expressing anger is actually permissible, provided that it is not excessive.
In addition, choose a positive way to live with liver cancer. Eat nutritious foods and take healthy steps (such as quitting smoking or reducing alcohol). You can find more information about this problem in our article on nutrition for liver cancer patients.
Observe other symptoms that you might have
During liver cancer (especially during treatment) symptoms such as pain, fatigue, insomnia or diet problems are very common in patients. When you experience these symptoms, you may feel more depressed than usual. Therefore, discuss your problem with a health provider. This problem will also be easier to overcome when you understand your own medical condition well.
Do sports and relaxation techniques
Relaxation techniques such as meditation, yoga, visualization, and hypnotherapy, massage or reflection are some methods that can help you deal with depression, fear and feeling anxiously well.
On the other hand, exercise is the right method to help you control your feelings. But keep in mind, all physical activities that you do must be adapted to your health conditions. If you have never done it before, you may not take part in the training of other people who have done it regularly. In starting the exercise, you have to start slowly so the body can get used to it, maybe it can start with a short walk. In addition, ask for advice and support from ex-patients and doctors. Family and relatives can also be a huge boost for you to keep up the spirit of treatment.
Be open to others about your situation
Get rid of negative thoughts from inside your head. To feel better, you might be able to share stories with others, listen to music, scream loudly, or even cry. It is undeniable that sometimes sharing stories with others is not easy. However, you still have the right person to share, like your friends and family, rather than saving the burden of feeling alone.
Joining a cancer support group is also recommended for cancer patients. Those who belong to this group may have the same situation and feeling, so you can more easily share stories with them.
Receiving a cancer diagnosis may take time, because you have to deal with fear, rejection and anger. However, the sooner you accept the condition and choose the best way to deal with it, your medical condition will improve in the future.
