Living with Bowel Cancer
Living with and beyond bowel cancer can be a challenging experience for patients and their families. After undergoing treatment, survivors may face physical and emotional changes that can affect their quality of life. However, with the right support and resources, survivors can live fulfilling lives and manage the long-term effects of bowel cancer treatment.
At the Bowel Cancer Foundation of India, we understand the importance of providing support for patients living with and beyond bowel cancer. Our team, led by Dr. Samrat Jankar, is dedicated to improving the lives of patients by providing access to resources and support programs designed to help them manage the physical and emotional challenges of living with bowel cancer.
Physical Effects of Bowel Cancer Treatment
Bowel cancer treatment can have physical effects on the body, including fatigue, changes in bowel function, and loss of appetite. Patients may also experience side effects from chemotherapy, such as hair loss, nausea, and vomiting. Our team can provide patients with information on how to manage these side effects and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Emotional Support for Patients and Families:
The emotional toll of living with bowel cancer can be significant for patients and their families. Many patients experience anxiety, depression, and stress related to their diagnosis and treatment. Our team can provide emotional support for patients and their families through counseling services and support groups. We can also connect patients with other survivors who have experienced similar challenges.
Healthy Lifestyle and Nutrition Support:
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and nutrition are important aspects of managing the long-term effects of bowel cancer treatment. Our team can provide patients with information on healthy eating habits and recommend exercise programs that can help patients maintain their physical and emotional well-being. We also offer support programs that can help patients manage their stress levels and maintain a positive outlook.
Follow-up Care and Monitoring:
After completing bowel cancer treatment, patients will require regular follow-up care and monitoring to ensure that the cancer does not return. Our team can help patients understand the importance of follow-up care and recommend resources for monitoring their health. We also provide patients with information on how to manage the long-term effects of treatment and maintain their overall health and well-being.
