The pharmacist a key ally in the fight against breast cancer

El día 19 de octubre se celebra el Día Mundial contra el cáncer de mama, para recordar el compromiso de toda la población en la lucha contra este tumor, que es uno de los más frecuentes en las mujeres occidentales. Como ya viene recalcando la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS), se trata de una enfermedad que se estima que sufrirán durante su vida una de cada ocho mujeres. De ahí, la necesidad de seguir insistiendo en la importancia, tanto de los controles médicos como del acceso a medios de diagnóstico y tratamientos eficaces.

Early diagnosis is the most important aspect in the prognosis of the disease and survival of the patient, so knowing more about breast cancer allows you to detect it early.After this year and a half in which it has lived with the SARS-COV-2 virus, it is even more essential to raise awareness among the importance of early diagnosis.

Humanization in approaching this pathology is fundamental and health professionals must take into account that people affected by it, in addition to feeling vulnerable, have many doubts.For this reason, the intervention of the pharmaceutical professional, as a health, accessible and close professional, is key to helping the patient and his caregiver, a specialized training being essential.Something that has been sued by these professionals.

With this objective, Togetherxtusalud and TogetherxelCancer from next October 16 and until 22 they launch a new initiative, similar to that carried out on the occasion of World Cancer Day, focused on breast cancer.In this period, each day an article and a video made by health professionals and experts in the sector will be published.In addition, another of the objectives is to raise the population and invite health professionals and users to upload to social networks the frontal photo of their hand with nails painted pink, writing #junctosxelCancer of breast and the piece of apuzzle.

DiarioFarma has contacted Isho Budhrani, creator of both projects and known within the profession for their involvement in the fight against cancer and the need to help both oncological patient and their caregiver.This pharmacist has indicated that this new edition faces “with many nerves and illusion and quite curiosity” and has been convinced to achieve that “at once is valued, palpated and the good work done by each of the architects ofSomething as necessary and demanded as Oncology training is ".In addition, the driver of these projects has wanted to emphasize that in the current pandemic situation, "the cancer patient has been relegated to a second place".For all this, he assures that the end of this edition is to provide "quality information".

Budhrani points out that within this edition the launch of a guide entitled "The care of the skin of the oncological patient" will take place.Guide that will have dermopharmaceutical recommendations for patients and caregivers from the pharmacy office.

The person responsible for these actions wanted to highlight that, despite the existence of numerous campaigns, it is necessary to insist since "nothing is enough if it is done only once".For this reason it maintains that it is necessary to "learn from those who have been working silently for many years in order to humanize cancer", extol this pharmacist.

For Budhrani, the best campaign is "to report correctly, listen to the patient, and guide him".In addition, this pharmacist considers “the union of multidisciplinary way thinking about the patient without harming him, and the best organization is that of an interdisciplinary work for the caregiver of the oncological patient”.It is essential to "not make the patient feel alone" in order to achieve his psychological and body recovery, Budhrani stood out.

Another aspect that this pharmacist wants to point out is the impact that COVID-19 has had on health professionals.In this regard, he pointed out that "all toilets have been overwhelmed by what happened" since "we all changed our lives".This has resulted in that "the centers and administrations have changed their routine and their priorities and in the middle there has been an oncological patient, literally lost".In this situation it is that Budhrani considers that it is where the pharmacy office "must show its hand, show yourself as the true caregiver of the caregiver of the oncological patient and there should start multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary work".
