    The Cancer Care Plan

    A cancer care plan will depend on the specific diagnosis and overall health condition of the patient. Some types of cancer develop slowly over many years, while others can spread rapidly. A lot depends on which organ is affected, and on the overall health of the patient.

    Typically, care plans detail the interventions needed to improve your condition.

    A healthy diet, as always, will be important, and regular exercise may be beneficial. Your doctor will strongly advise you against smoking, taking unauthorized drugs, or excessive drinking.

    Pain Management

    Haym Salomon Home’s physicians are experienced in pain relief techniques and medication. They will ensure that any medication and possible side-effects are clear to the patient. It’s important to follow the advice of your doctor regarding medication, diet and daily routines.

    Monitoring Of The Patient’s Condition

    The care plan will also include regular check-ups to assess the spread or remission of cancer. Close monitoring of cancer patients may also require changes in medication to aid the recovery process.

    Emotional Support

    At Haym Salomon Home an important part of cancer care is emotional support. Management, treatment and/or recovery can be a long and painful process. Cancer patients need lots of loving care and attention. If they’ve had surgery or chemotherapy they will feel weak, and could get depressed. They will need love and encouragement, as well as appropriate medication, to feel better.
