    After learning that you have cancer, you will go through the psychological stages of denying reality, accepting reality, and actively confronting reality.

    1. Denying reality and unable to accept that you have cancer.

    Many people go to the hospital for examination and find out that they have cancer, and the first thought is that they cannot accept reality, which is also the first mental activity of most people. Because before a person is sure that he has cancer, he is a so-called normal person and still lives according to the normal trajectory of life, but after knowing that he has cancer, his future life trajectory will be changed, and he may have to give up many things around him for cancer. Therefore, people at this stage will probably deny reality from their hearts, and it will take about three months to last.

    2. Accept reality and accept yourself slowly.

    This is the most critical psychological stage after having cancer, some people have survived the psychological stage of denying reality in the early stage, and they will slowly accept their current self, and accepting the reality still needs a process, people with a good mentality can accept it in about two months, while people with a bad mentality may have to last for several years. Only by slowly accepting oneself can one have a better attitude and a better attitude towards life, otherwise individuals will always live in the shadow of cancer.

    3. Positive face reality.

    After the enlightenment of psychologists and relatives and friends, they slowly accepted the reality and began to understand the relevant knowledge of cancer, most people at this time will face the reality positively, positive ** their own cancer, because the best way to fight cancer is to maintain an optimistic and positive attitude, once someone had cancer after the doctor said that he could not live for a year, but because the patient was more optimistic, under the premise of having cancer, he lived for up to 10 years.

    In general, cancer is indeed a terrible thing, but we must also learn to accept ourselves and actively cooperate with doctors**.

    For cancer, many people do not accept it very well in their hearts, because it affects the lives of patients after all. Therefore, cancer not only brings physical pain to patients, but also brings psychological pressure to patients. Today we are going to talk about cancer patients and what kind of mental processes they go through after learning about their condition.

    Before the cancer detection period is determined, nervousness, repeated medical treatment, prayers for safety, etc. After a cancer diagnosis, it usually manifests as a psychological development process, such as shock, denial or rejection, grievance, anger, fear, depression and anxiety, compromise, calmness, acceptance, etc. **Stage, after surgery and during chemotherapy and radiotherapy, the pain caused by ***** will bring stress and discomfort to the patient's body and mind, including fear, irritability, pessimism, doubt, insomnia, etc.

    as well as concerns about the effectiveness of **. If it doesn't go well, it's easy to be pessimistic and disappointed, or make unreasonable choices about health care products and small advertisements, thereby delaying the condition.

    Period, worry, metastasis, and heaviness, especially on the eve of the re-examination and in the process of waiting for the results. Fear, depression, and anxiety due to disease uncertainty. With the prolongation of the course of the disease and the recovery of the body, most of the psychological problems are gradually relieved, but some potential psychological problems, if not resolved, will still trigger new psychological conflicts and disorders, thus affecting the recovery of the body.

    CauseTherefore, actively looking for the root cause of psychological problems, making adjustments and interventions, is very helpful for cancer patients.

    If the bad mood persists for a long time, it may affect the patient's diet and sleep, which in turn affects the state and immunity of the body, which will definitely adversely affect the ** of the tumor and the ** of the patient. An optimistic attitude towards life and firm beliefs come from the rich experience and perception of life in the inner world. Therefore, cancer patients must be strong and optimistic in the face of difficulties.

    Attention should be paid to cold and warmth, diet and rest to enhance the body's immunity.

    If it were me, I would cherish the rest of my life even more. To say that a real case can no longer be real, it happened all around me. When I got married last year, my brother-in-law flew from Yunnan to Shijiazhuang to attend his sister's wedding.

    During the Spring Festival, he worked overtime in Yunnan and was a crew member. After the Spring Festival, I felt uncomfortable in my stomach, swollen and a little painful. When you get home, go straight to the hospital for a checkup.

    Diagnosis report, considering advanced liver cancer.

    The doctor said at the time, six months to nine months. However, he passed away when his parents-in-law accompanied him day and night in the hospital for nearly three months. Twenty-five year old, unmarried.

    I have been actively accepting ** in the hospital, and I take painkillers when the pain is unbearable. Until he passed away, he did not mention his illness, and all the information in the mobile phone was deleted, leaving only the article in the QQ collection about "how to get along with family in the advanced stage of liver cancer".

    A young life is gone like this, and many people who know it feel sorry. Just one month has passed, my parents-in-law's mood has stabilized, and my wife has returned to me. Life goes on, but it always feels as if nothing is real.

    Human life, healthy life, is the root of everything. People live for a lifetime, and all that is left is the concern of their families!

    Listen to the doctor, and the doctor will do what he says. If you continue surgery and chemotherapy, you should actively cooperate with the doctor, if the doctor says conservative, then find a quiet place to live well, be sure to take medicine on time, and review on time.

    No one wants to get sick, but if people eat whole grains, how can there be a reason not to get sick, and they must face it well when they are sick, especially when they are seriously ill or seriously ill such as cancer, a good attitude is particularly important.

    Isn't there such a saying, people are not killed by illness, but are frightened to death by their own diseases? Worry about high medical bills, worry about post-operative pain, worry about burdening your family, etc., etc., etc.

    In fact, it doesn't have to be like this at all, if you have a disease, you can treat it, and leave everything else to time.

    I will make the following decisions, I have a countdown to my life, I used to go to my parents' house once a week, but now I have to visit them every day and talk to them. Life counts down, put down the phone every night and accompany my son to do his homework. Life countdown, how can I have time to go to the mountains and rivers, and give my wife who is ** one more massage every day.

    According to my personality, I will be very calm, and then I will consult the doctor very seriously, how long can I live, **Is there any point? Based on my own understanding of cancer, the terminal stage of cancer in the hospital is a tragedy of both people and money! Besides, my wife has just finished chemotherapy for early-stage breast cancer, so I can't make any worse of it!

    Thinking of this, I decided to rot this thing in my stomach first.

    I don't believe in advertising, let alone the propaganda that cures cancer, once it is said that it will cost a lot of money! Based on your feelings, copy the prescription, grab the medicine directly online, take it for half a month first, and if you feel good, then take it. My wife doesn't suspect me, knowing that I often copy recipes for conditioning and conditioning.

    Denial period. When most patients first learn that they have cancer, their initial reaction is mostly denial, and they will encourage denial, rejection, and acceptance of the facts. The typical manifestation of this period is restlessness, restlessness, and attempts to escape from reality, and they seek medical treatment or even home remedies with the mentality of luck, and at the same time always suspect that the doctor's diagnosis is wrong.

    This kind of denial is a manifestation of self-defense.

    Anger period. When denial can no longer continue, the psychological reaction is anger and jealousy, and the patient often thinks resentfully, "Why do I have this disease, it's not fair."

    The anger expressed by the patient, which often leads to anger towards family members and health care workers, should be understood as a venting psychological response to the threat of death.

    Agreement Period. The agreement period is also known as the bargaining period. This phase is generally short-lived and less pronounced than the first two.

    The so-called "bargaining" may be the patient's "bargaining" with his or her own fate, begging the god of fate to give him good luck and be able to have a miracle of cancer disappearing or healing itself; It may also be that the patient is "bargaining" with the medical staff, begging the doctor to give him "good medicine", and asking an authoritative expert to give him **. The psychological response of the agreement period is actually an attempt to delay death, a natural process of psychological development.

    Depression period. After going through the first three stages, the patient's body becomes weaker, the disease worsens, and he realizes that the negotiation is ineffective, and he will lose the life he loves, his family, and his work, which is extremely valuable, and his anger or anger will be replaced by a great sense of loss. Patients in the depressed phase are mainly manifested by apathy to the food around them, reduced speech, unresponsiveness, lack of interest in anything, frequent crying and sadness, willingness to be alone or prefer to have one or two people they like around.

    This period lasts for a long time, and it should be noted that some patients will have suicidal thoughts. Rent an eye.

    Acceptance Period. After going through the above four stages, the condition is deteriorating, the health is getting worse, they have lost all hope and strength to struggle, so they have to accept the reality. At this stage, the patient often shows a surprising calmness and no longer complains about fate.

    They will be very calm and work with others to accomplish what they have not yet done. At this time, the patient realizes a mental process of transcending reality and self.
