For many, cancer means an above-mentioned situation with many feelings and thoughts.\u00a0Most people find ways to deal with them, either by themselves or with support from their surroundings.\u00a0Sometimes it is not possible.\u00a0Then there is support and help to get. How can cancer affect my thoughts and feelings?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cancer often affects life a lot.\u00a0It is common to be sad, dejected, worried or angry.\u00a0Many people may feel stressed or difficult to concentrate or remember things.\u00a0It is also common to start thinking a lot about things that have been and about the future.\u00a0Some may\u00a0end up in a crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are various ways to deal with thoughts and feelings.\u00a0Doing so will prevent them from limiting your life.\u00a0It can also be easier to cope with cancer treatment. What can I do for myself?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many people find it easier to move or to do something that they like, which has nothing to do with the disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Move<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Physical activity helps the body recover from cancer.\u00a0Moving on can help with\u00a0depression,\u00a0anxiety\u00a0and\u00a0sleep problems\u00a0and can prevent\u00a0depression.\u00a0You who are related and want to get started on moving can get\u00a0advice on training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do as you please<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

During and after cancer treatment, you may need to find ways that allow you to regain energy or to feel calm and in balance.\u00a0Do things that you like and what feels good to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It can also be a good time to make life changes if you wish.\u00a0Maybe there is something you have stopped, that you would like to get started with again.\u00a0Maybe there is something else that you no longer want to spend so much time on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is good to try to plan so that you can regularly do what you feel good about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mindfulness can reduce stress and worry<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Mindfulness is a method that is used in many places in health care to reduce stress and anxiety. There are courses in mindfulness both inside and outside care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are different ways to find out if you need support or help to manage your thoughts and feelings.\u00a0One way is that you fill out a form.\u00a0You receive the form where you receive care.\u00a0You can fill it in yourself, with a relative or with someone from the healthcare staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is common for needs to change. You can fill out the form several times. The contact nurse will ensure that your completed form is included in the care plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Help you get it right<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The contact nurse will guide you in the care and can also tell you what help can be found outside the care. The curator and the doctor can also often give tips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For some, it makes it easier to talk to someone.\u00a0It may be a close relative or another person you trust.\u00a0If this is not possible, there are various forms of call support within the care and outside care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes you need more help, for example, if the depression turns into\u00a0anxiety\u00a0or\u00a0depression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Call support from healthcare<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The contact nurse is special support for you if you have cancer or are related.\u00a0The contact nurse can refer you further if you need more support.\u00a0The curator is often easy to reach.\u00a0It may also be possible to obtain support from a psychologist or from the hospital church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Contact nurses, curators, psychologists, and priests are used to talking to people about things that feel difficult.\u00a0They have an education for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You do not need any pre-formulated problem to get call support. On the contrary, it is often in the conversation that you can get help to formulate, so that you can find solutions or live with the situation as it is now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everyone who works in the healthcare sector has a\u00a0duty of confidentiality.\u00a0It also has priests.\u00a0This means that you have to give your explicit consent for them to tell someone else what you have said or even that you have contacted them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Psychotherapy and other psychological treatment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes you need more help or other help than call support.\u00a0Then psychotherapy or other psychological treatment may be an alternative.\u00a0There are various types of psychotherapy, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, which are the most commonly abbreviated CBT, family therapy and psychodynamic therapy.\u00a0Here you can read more about\u00a0psychotherapy and psychological treatment. Medicines can help sometimes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may need medication, for example, if you have been diagnosed with depression or if you have anxiety or have difficulty sleeping.\u00a0Discuss medicines with your doctor. Support together with others<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many people find it good to meet in groups and share their experiences with others in the same situation. Such support is also available on the internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Support groups in health care<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Some hospitals have support activities for patients with cancer. The contact nurse or the curator can tell you more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Support groups outside care<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Patient associations exist for the most common cancer diseases.\u00a0The associations can provide both information and other support.\u00a0Sometimes they organize local support groups.\u00a0It is common for both patients and relatives to participate.\u00a0You can find information on the hospital’s bulletin boards about what the patient associations offer.\u00a0You can also look at the\u00a0association’s websites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There may also be local support groups organized by other organizations, such as the Red Cross or the Lions. The curator knows if there are such activities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
