Helpful Tips for Coping with Radiation
Below are some of the suggestions and tip sheets created to help those going through radiation therapy.
Guidelines for Exercise — Fatigue remains one of the most common problems experienced by patients with cancer. Light exercise with increasing physical activity is one strategy for successful management of fatigue.
Skin Care Tips — Skin care is very important during radiation therapy. The treatment site can become sore and irritated. These guidelines help to maintain the skin integrity during treatment and should only be applied to the area being treated.
Mouth Care — A certain amount of irritation to the mouth and throat is unavoidable when receiving radiation therapy to the head or neck area. These instructions will help decrease and manage the side effects associated with radiation treatments.
Energy Conservation — Helpful to all cancer patients.
Managing Stress — Helpful to all cancer patients.
Taking care of yourself during Radiation Therapy — It is important to take good care of yourself while going through radiation therapy. The body needs extra care during this time and it will help you feel more in control of the outcome.
