This book will explain the necessary coping strategies on how you can cope with cancer. Cancer is a dreadful disease that can take its toll on the patient as well as on loved ones. Treatment can take a long time with debilitating side effects. The diagnosis of cancer casts a black cloud on those affected, and it can be detrimental, both mentally and physically if allowed to take on a negative feel. During such a devastating time when someone has been diagnosed with cancer, it is traumatic and therefore it is very important to have some form of emotional support throughout such an event. There are several sources of help and options open to you, depending on your personal circumstances, some of which you can do for yourself, depending on whether you find it helpful, as well as seeking support from your friends, partner, religious counselling, or professional counselling. There are chemotherapy treatment side effects to deal with, and this guide book can be used as a reference book, and it will also help you to prepare psychologically for any challenging times ahead; knowledge makes all the difference when you know a little bit more about what you can expect, and you are equipped with helpful planning and coping strategies. *** Order your copy today, get KDP digital version FREE *** The author produced the cycle chart journal to record side effects based on personal experience and she has published several other book titles listed below: CANCER: Chemotherapy Treatment Monitoring & Management: (Coping with Cancer, Oncology, Chemotherapy, After Side Effects) 2 manuscripts in 1 Chemotherapy: After Side Effects Chart, Cycle Journal & Medical Appointments Diary for Chemo, Oncology, Cancer Treatment & Recovery Chemotherapy: Cancer Treatment & Recovery Journal, Cycle Chart to Record After Side Effects, Medical Treatment Appointments Diary & Colouring Book (After Side Effects, Signs & Symptoms from Chemotherapy)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than one in four people in the UK will be diagnosed with cancer at some time during their lives, and most of them will need chemotherapy. This makes chemotherapy one of the most widely used forms of treatment today. For many, 'chemotherapy' is a frightening, almost taboo word - but today's sophisticated drugs are resulting in ever improving cure rates, as well as better quality of life during the treatment itself. Coping with Chemotherapy explains what the treatment is, how the drugs work, and different ways in which they can be given. It also explains how to tackle side effects such as sickness, tiredness and hair loss. This new edition also looks at the growth in importance of hormonal treatments, and of targeted therapies, drugs which attack specific abnormalities on cancer cells. The advice on money matters has also been updated and expanded.

Download or read book Cancer Care for the Whole Patient written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2008-03-19 with total page 455 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cancer care today often provides state-of-the-science biomedical treatment, but fails to address the psychological and social (psychosocial) problems associated with the illness. This failure can compromise the effectiveness of health care and thereby adversely affect the health of cancer patients. Psychological and social problems created or exacerbated by cancer-including depression and other emotional problems; lack of information or skills needed to manage the illness; lack of transportation or other resources; and disruptions in work, school, and family life-cause additional suffering, weaken adherence to prescribed treatments, and threaten patients' return to health. Today, it is not possible to deliver high-quality cancer care without using existing approaches, tools, and resources to address patients' psychosocial health needs. All patients with cancer and their families should expect and receive cancer care that ensures the provision of appropriate psychosocial health services. Cancer Care for the Whole Patient recommends actions that oncology providers, health policy makers, educators, health insurers, health planners, researchers and research sponsors, and consumer advocates should undertake to ensure that this standard is met.

Download or read book Coping with Cancer Stress written by B.A. Stoll and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The emotional pressures on cancer patients and their families are increasing and traditional supports are decreasing. This book attempts to provide a readable, authoritative and balanced review of the emotional pressures and coping methods of cancer patients, and the help currently available to them. The special problems of children and terminal patients with cancer, and the role of the family in coping, are also examined. A balanced and critical assessment is made of defects in health organisation, training of personnel and attitudes to cancer patients in Western society. A similar assessment is made of the growing tendency to self help, mutual help and group activities for such patients. While each individual needs to select coping aids best suited to his or her own temperament, medical advisors need to make more time available for discussion of technical, emotional, social and sexual problems. The availability of a cancer-treating "team" makes this feasible. Chapters were invited from physicians, psychiatrists, psychologists and sociologists expert in this field, and they have responsed to the challenge of writing in non-technical language. This is so that readership can cross disciplinary boundaries and thus stimulate physicians, nurses, psychologists, sociologists, clergy and others, to satisfy some of the currently unmet needs of cancer patients. The reader may note a small amount of overlap between some chapters, permitted in order to maintain continuity and make each chapter complete in itself.

Over the course of six sessions, couples learn support and communication skills, as well as techniques to manage stress and enhance intimacy. Modeling by group leaders and other couples facilitates skill acquisition. With continued use, the skills learned in group can have long-term benefits for couples .
