How not to miss the cancer and help yourself recover
Health / / December 19, 2019
According to Rosstat, Russia's growths can become a cause of death in more than 15% of cases. It says only that the cancer center, patients identify the disease in the later stages, when treatment does not bring the result that might be expected. So why do we miss cancer and how to fight it?
Last year, the tumors were found in 11 people out of every thousand people. The statistics include only the data collected by doctors. But often we miss the onset of the disease and come to the office of an oncologist with advanced stage. What prevents the time to ask for help?
Fear of cancer
Cancer fear more than any other. Scary stories fly fast, but on the occasions of healing talk less enthusiastic. In addition, many people know that the treatment of cancer is often slow and difficult.
Out of fear, we find ourselves at the doctor too late. And suddenly something will find?
Meanwhile, there is a set of signs, which can detect a predisposition to cancer. This heredity and lifestyle, and place of residence, and age. If you regularly screened in accordance with
recommended schemes, The chance to detect the disease at the beginning of the path will be very high.The fact is that if you are still sick, find new growth anyway. But the later, the worse the prognosis.
What to do if you are afraid to be tested? Go to a clinic where fear is smaller and where not encounter reasons for panic. This clinic:
- holds reception strictly by appointment, so you do not have to sit for hours in the corridor and to communicate with patients;
- It works with experienced;
- working on quality standards;
- It has broad capabilities for a complete diagnosis, so you can be screened in one place;
- It has several departments: surgery, intensive care, outpatient, hospital, department of chemotherapy. This tells about the quality and completeness of the technical equipment.
Lack of time and attention to his
Few people like to be treated, writing off all of the problems and warning signs on the nerves, the workload or the environment. "Needless to pass" - the most popular excuse of the visit to the clinic.
The more that you need to take time off from work to serve a turn, take different doctors at different times and at the weekend clinic closed. There is only one way - to find a hospital, where the reception is held at a convenient time for you. For example: European clinic in Moscow will work even in the New Year's holidays, with the clock.
Distrust of medicine
Cancer walks around a lot of myths, starting with the fact that somewhere there is a magic bullet that cures all at once, ending with the fact that it is impossible to be treated in Russia. Most of these stories to the reality has nothing to do with. But because of such mistakes people are trying to be treated with alternative methods, or are not going to the doctor.
Choose the necessary treatment, which uses technology and the principles of evidence-based medicine. This and only this will be the key to success. Today both public and private clinics are able to provide treatment in Russia, which is not inferior to foreign ones.
It includes accurate diagnosis, a full range of necessary manipulations, legal assistance and psychological support for patients.
By the way, all the methods that promise a quick and complete recovery, deliberately fraudulent. In medicine, rely on math and Standards, so all figures include errors, and talk about a complete cure will be only five years after diagnosis. So when choosing a clinic think, in what institution you are ready to come to the survey for five years, and pay attention to the level of comfort for patients.A sign of good work - the opportunity to consult an oncologist immediately, on the day of treatment in the clinic.
The fear of losing all the material means
Oncological diseases generally applied purse same damage as health. Around this time of the attention - means slukavit or say no to everything.
Surgery and chemotherapy are not cheap. Several operations and several courses of treatment, respectively, several times more expensive.There is such a bitter truth of life: the more advanced case of cancer, the more expensive treatment costs.
Of course, not everyone can provide funds for rapid diagnosis and initiation of treatment, besides we have a MHI policy. But if you do not bury our heads in the sand, thinking it will cure all for free, it would appear that public clinics and services are either money or time due to queuing on the procedure. And the sooner you learn the most about the disease and begin treatment, the more will be able to recover faster and get to work.
The money you earn, and the time did not give even a very high rate of interest.
Lack of information about the disease and treatment
While we are not affected by the difficult situation, we do not know anything about cancer. And then you have to understand that the cancer - this is not some sort of a single disease, but a whole range of diseases that are of each other are very different.
Where to find out what symptoms signal the disease? What are necessary inspections? How to change my life if I get sick? How would react to me in the hospital?
The answers to these questions can help with the decision to visit a doctor. Most of the information you can find on the website of the European clinics, where in the section for patients can be found information about cancer, and answers to the most pressing issues, and information about the legal side treatment.
In any case, for anxiety symptoms or concerns should consult with a specialist.
