    Proper Ways Of Nursing A Brain Cancer Survivor

    By Kevin Turner


    Cancer is a killer disease. Once infected, it takes a lot to recover. There are many types of this illness and it is better if it is detected at an early stage. For this reason finding a brain cancer survivor is rare. Most of those who are affected lose their lives. It is important that they are well cared for so that they recuperate fast. The following are some of the ways in which they can be helped.

    People need to watch out for re occurrence of the illness. Even after treatment, its not guaranteed that the problem is fully healed. A close eye should be kept to ensure that the victim recovers fully. This can be done by the doctor or those living with them. They need to be aware of synonyms and be alert just in case they show.

    Due to the processes that the patient go through during treatment, they develop side effects. This may affect the way they reason or the way they perform tasks. We are required to love and accept them. Long term effects will show up after some time. We should help them accept their situation and try getting things back to normal.

    The only way a nurse will know the health history of someone is by going through previous reports. A person must have these at all times. It does not matter whether they are fully healed or not. Any time they visit hospitals, they must carry these along. We as the immediate assistants must make sure that the records are kept in the right places and that they are accessible any time they are needed.

    Convalescents need to receive guiding and counselling from a social worker. This helps them accept themselves and whatever they might be going through. Sometimes the situation may be traumatizing and they may get depressed. Talking to such people reassures them and gives them hope in life. It therefore advisable that they get assigned to one.

    There are future consultations that need to be attended. Specific dates are set aside so that their health is checked and any indication of poor health dealt with as soon as possible. Such meetings are mandatory and they should not be missed for anything. That is why we have to ensure that our loved ones do not forget to honor the appointments.

    House chores can be overwhelming. The stress caused by this is not good for their health. One way of preventing this is by doing the work for the survivors or by hiring staff to do it. Having nothing to take up the energy is good for their well being. They should live with people around to avoid loneliness and to help them around.

    At times they usually have large amounts of money as hospital bills. The therapy they underwent and the drugs given are normally costly. If they still have pending bills to be cleared, clearing them will be helpful. The money can be raised from relatives or well-wishers. This reduces the things they have to worry about.
