We said it already in funny metastatic liver cancer pictures : give the person with cancer the same treatment as before you know he or she had cancer. So far for the theory…
Basic metastatic liver cancer facts
Metastatic liver cancer means your liver will shut down sooner or later. So far for the theory… The facts are that a liver that doesn’t clean up very well, leaves the blood that feeds your brain with some unfiltered blood… which means your brain can start playing tricks on you.
Add to that the more and more stronger painkillers due to the caner treatment (which is NO caner treatment in the end), and your brain is even more “challenged”.
Cancer: back to basics
Eat, sleep, habits….
Old habits die hard they say. Keep this in mind if you visit a terminal cancer patient: maybe the conversation with the caner patient doesn’t evolve the way you were used to. But the habits that the person used to have still can be “tapped”.
You probably need to take some work out of the hands of the cancer patient, yet don’t take away the habits that are kind of embedded in the person.
For example: father is the one who always locks the doors late at night. Now father sleeps very early, so we taught: we will lock the doors and tell father all is ok… Not ok for father: nights became less stressful when father locked the doors again himself (be it that after he falls asleep we need to open the doors again to go out… yet father sleeps in piece 🙂 )
Father is no more eating with appetite. If food is not keeping you alive, then manpower is. Yet you need both to carry on, you cannot keep on “eating your muscles” inside out…
