Онкоспихолог Ольга Парамонова: «Паллиативный статус может стать началом новой жизни»

Modern medicine has a wide range of methods for successfully fighting cancer, especially if the disease is detected at an early stage. Unfortunately, in severe, advanced forms of cancer, a complete cure is often impossible. However, this is not a death sentence. With proper palliative care, patients can live for years and even decades, maintaining a normal quality of life. They can continue their normal activities, travel, and raise their children and grandchildren. The multidisciplinary team at the EuroOnco Federal Network of Expert Oncology Clinics provides palliative care at the highest level, and has seen successful clinical cases where palliative patients returned to anticancer treatment. However, being assigned palliative care status is undoubtedly a major challenge for the human psyche, as the fundamental illusion of immortality is shattered. In such a situation, it's crucial for patients not to despair, and this is where professional oncopsychologists at EuroOnco can help. They provide free support to patients, their families, and loved ones. In this video, EuroOnco oncopsychologist Olga Paramonova, drawing on her many years of experience, discusses the psychological characteristics and support methods for patients with palliative care. "Palliative care isn't the end. It can be the beginning of a new, amazing, unique life. A life filled with freedom. We are so shrouded in conventions and stereotypes. A person who has received palliative care can afford whatever they want. And this gives them enormous freedom. They can do things they've put off for years, things they thought weren't for them, but actually wanted. People discover so many interesting things about palliative care," says Olga Paramonova. According to her, such a period is sometimes filled with so much vital energy that it increases the body's reserves. "Therefore, I urge patients and their families to never give up. We don't know what the future holds. We have today. We can make the most of this today to fight the disease and win," the expert notes. 📱 EuroOnco's 24/7 contact center: 8 (800) 511-44-95 Join our social media groups: Telegram https://t.me/euroonco_ru VKontakte: https://vk.com/euroonco Instagram:   / euroonco.ru   Odnoklassniki: https://ok.ru/eurooncoru ▲ We publish new materials on cancer treatment, diagnosis, and prevention. ▻ Contact us to schedule a consultation with an oncologist: 8 (800) 511-44-95
