If someone you know is diagnosed with cancer, it creates a tragic situation for everyone around you. Having a family member or someone close to you has a greater impact. In such a situation, the patient's family or close people play the role of the most caring caregiver. Their responsible and empathetic attitude helps to increase the mental strength of the patient as well as to follow the prescribed medical procedures and advice.

For those who work to care for people with cancer, the report discusses some essential tips from the experiences of people involved in caring for older patients, including specialist physicians.

1. Gathering information and knowing the details: It is important to know the details in order to understand the symptoms, care and overall situation according to the type of cancer for proper care and care of the cancer patient. There is a way to know from various reports, documentaries, at the same time the advice of experts should be listened to carefully and help can be taken if necessary. If there is any doubt or question about any subject, it should be heard again and again so that no mistake is made in any situation. This is necessary to consider the physical health of the patient.

2. Adapting to a new situation: When a loved one is diagnosed with a serious illness like cancer, the people around him are naturally upset. As a new environment is created as a whole, it is necessary for both the patient and the caregiver to adapt hard.

3. Positivity: The attitude and conversation of those who are always with the patient to be cared for must be positive. In such a situation, any negative words or repeated expressions of frustration with the patient's condition make the patient more nervous. So the patient should always be encouraged, he is a successful fighter in his path - it should be reminded again and again.

4. Taking care of one's own health: In the midst of full-time responsibility, people who provide patient care often become reluctant to take care of themselves. In order to ensure a comfortable environment for the patient, one must first take care of one's body and mind. If neither of the two is good, treating and caring for the patient can have adverse effects. Like the patient's eating habits, certain rules have to be followed for oneself.

5. Creating a happy environment for yourself and the patient: It is difficult for any human being to live in a monotonous environment for a long time. Such an environment becomes more difficult to deal with, especially for those who are suffering from cancer and those who are engaged in the care of cancer survivors. So from time to time the service providers try to cheer themselves and the patient in various ways including listening to favorite songs, reciting poems, watching inspirational movies or documentaries, writing diaries, playing small games. Mental strength and serenity play an unimaginable role in carrying out such work responsibly.

6. Changing the type of work: If you are always engaged in the same type of work, you may gradually become disgusted and lack interest in that work. So if you change the work with others, the monotony will be cut off, at the same time the patient can be taken care of without expressing annoyance.

7. Explaining one's own advantages and disadvantages: If the attendant has developed the habit of speaking openly about his or her own disability, then he / she should not be forced to do any work. In that case, the patient will gradually learn to tell the caregiver about all his problems, just as the chances of the patient being harmed by a mistake at work are reduced.

8. Proper communication with the patient: Often the patient cannot ask for all kinds of help out of hesitation, the caregiver should create that environment for the patient. If such communication can be made, it becomes much easier to take the medical procedure and the patient as a whole. Instead of being introverted, talking about different things, discussing one's joys and sorrows, watching a game or a movie of one's choice together, it is possible to form a good bond of communication.

In the treatment of cancer, the relationship between the patient and the caregiver is just as important as the patient's relationship with the physician. Rather, in this case, the relationship should be more understanding and friendship. Only then will both the patient and the caregiver be motivated to take care of themselves, and the fatigue and hardship of the long-term treatment journey will be lessened.
