Lymphoedema is a kind of swelling of body tissues.
Lymphedema is mainly caused by the removal or damage to lymph nodes as a part of cancer treatment.
It results from a blockage in the lymphatic system, which is part of the immune system.
The blockage prevents lymph fluid from draining well, and the fluid buildup leads to swelling.
The condition is incurable, but can be managed with early diagnosis and diligent care of the affected limb.
In the journey of cancer, patients receive many types of cancer treatments. Cancer surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and pain management are the main treatments. For advanced stage cancer chemo, radiation therapy and pain relief remains the mainstay of treatments. Unfortunately, even with the best treatment; if cancer gradually spreads throughout the body, palliative care is all that is required. Advanced cancer care network (ACCN) is committed to provide specialist health care at home to all advanced cancer patients. Home care is best for stage 4 cancer patients. Advanced cancer care centre is a place for people who don’t need to be in a hospital but can’t be cared for at home and offers an alternative to nearby nursing homes. Hospice care focuses on the palliation of a chronically ill, terminally ill or seriously ill patient’s pain and symptoms, end of life care and attending to their emotional and spiritual needs. ACCN is all set to provide not only nursing home care but home care products also at home and home becomes care home. The purpose of home health care or home care services is to provide comfort care to the patients.
