Cancer Patient Care

Cancer Patient Home Care & Supportive Services Dhaka | Medically Supervised - AdvanCell

The journey through cancer is profoundly challenging, not just medically but also physically, emotionally, and socially, for both patients and their families. While primary cancer treatment is vital, the side effects of therapy and the progression of the disease can significantly impact a patient's comfort, strength, and ability to perform daily activities.

At AdvanCell, we understand the immense burden faced by cancer patients and their loved ones. Our Cancer Patient Home Care & Supportive Services are dedicated to providing compassionate, comprehensive, and medically supervised care directly within the familiar and comforting environment of your home in Dhaka. We focus on enhancing comfort, managing symptoms, improving physical function, and supporting overall quality of life throughout the cancer journey.

Understanding the Unique Needs of Cancer Patients at Home

Cancer and its treatments (chemotherapy, radiation, surgery, targeted therapies) can lead to a wide array of physical and emotional challenges:

• Pain Management: Acute or chronic pain from the disease or its treatment.

• Severe Fatigue: Often debilitating, impacting energy levels and motivation.

• Nausea, Vomiting & Appetite Loss: Leading to malnutrition and weakness.

• Physical Weakness & Deconditioning: Loss of muscle mass and strength, impacting mobility.

• Mobility Issues: Difficulty walking, balancing, and performing daily tasks.

• Wound & Stoma Care: Post-surgical needs, or care for colostomy/ileostomy.

• Lymphedema: Swelling often post-surgery or radiation.

• Emotional Distress: Anxiety, depression, fear, and social isolation.

• Increased Risk of Infection: Due to compromised immune systems.

The Benefits of Home-Based Supportive Care: Receiving supportive care at home allows cancer patients to:

• Remain in a Familiar Environment: Promoting comfort, dignity, and emotional well-being.

• Reduce Hospital Visits: Minimizing exposure to infections and saving time/stress for non-acute needs.
