There are usually many problems that patients with liver cancer need to deal with, mainly including the following aspects:
1) To deal with the side effects of the body, most treatments for liver cancer will produce some side effects accordingly. Sometimes, the side effects can continue after the treatment is completed, and the doctors call them long-term side effects. Treatment of long-term side effects and late effects is an important part of survival care. Doctors will strive to prevent and alleviate the side effects of liver cancer patients. This kind of treatment belongs to the category of “palliative treatment”. Regardless of the patient’s age and disease stage, it is an important part of the treatment plan.
2) Coping with emotional and social impacts, after cancer diagnosis, will have a certain impact on patients’ emotional and social relationships and the body. Including negative emotions, such as sadness, anxiety or anger, stress, etc. Sometimes patients have problems expressing their feelings to their loved ones, or people do n’t know how to respond. At this time, patients and their families share their feelings with the doctor as much as possible.
3) In response to financial implications, cancer treatment can be expensive. It is often an important source of stress and anxiety for cancer patients and their families. In addition to the cost of treatment, many people find that they have everything related to their care. For some people, the high cost prevents them from following or completing their cancer treatment plan. This requires patients and families to come up with coping strategies, including combining other available resources to solve financial problems.
