Presentation Overview TODAY'S DISCUSSION • How do I Cope with Changes in my Body? • Self-care tips have helped most survivors
How do I Cope with Changes in my Body? A cancer diagnosis and treatment can bring about physical changes to your body and impact your body image. It may include loss of hair, scars, loss of appetite, bowel/bladder control issues, pain, fatigue, and drastic weight changes. The changes in your body are a constant reminder of your cancer.
But remember that it is normal to experience a range of emotions when coping with these changes to your body. • The changes in your body are a constant reminder of your cancer. • Give yourself time to adjust and try to avoid going down the path of decreased self-esteem, social isolation, anxiety and depression.
Self-care tips have helped most survivors: Exercise, even a short walk, releases endorphins, a naturally occurring mood booster.
Self-care tips have helped most survivors: Practice relaxation techniques like meditation and deep, slow breathing exercises.
Self-care tips have helped most survivors: Read and listen more to gather knowledge of your cancer, its treatment, and your medications. This helps you be prepared and in control.
Self-care tips have helped most survivors: • Discuss with your healthcare worker • It is fine to feel sad and not able to control emotions. • Discuss with your close family and friends about your fears. • Connect with patients who have gone through similar circumstances.
Emotional support and a positive attitude greatly impact your ability to manage your cancer. We recommend you engage your mind with functional, positive coping techniques and communicating with your support system.
