患上惡性腫瘤首先要調整心態
當確診患上癌症或惡性腫瘤，首先要努力逼使自己保持冷靜，不要害怕，意氣用事或亂了分寸更有可能耽誤病情！確診後首當要做還是要與自己的家庭醫生或負責醫生分析當下狀況，再看下一步該做甚麼。現今醫學發達，治療方案一定會有，患者的最佳配合就是必須抱有開放思想與正面樂觀的態度，不要執著，要聽取醫生意見。有懷疑則多看多一兩位醫生收集意見，將有的路、對策都寫下來，再與家人或醫生商討適合自己意願的治療方案。
情緒對身體的無形影響很大，不建議自己一個面對，要與身邊人分憂。這個時候，更需要調整生活及飲食習慣，每天一杯米水養脾胃，養好自己身體準備迎戰。不要一味擔心着未發生的事宜，例如治療後的後遺症或電療或化療後的不適症狀如電療後會出現口腔潰爛、喉嚨痛等，以中醫角度來看可以清熱滋陰，飲用有清熱養陰、生津益胃功效的石斛粉沖水，緩解咽喉不適感。亦可以將米水沖粉製成加入大菜製成果凍，既有營養與飽肚又不會加重喉嚨不適。又例如部份病人接受化療後出現手腳麻痹，可以嘗試按摩及針灸穴位，配合具舒筋活絡的藥材外洗以紓緩症狀。如果同時接受中醫治療，建議主動向西醫提及，因為這樣雙方都可了解症狀及用藥情況，避免延誤病情之餘，更能配合發揮最大療效。
