Important Notes to Communicate in Advance

1. Preparation Before Treatment:
- If taking anticoagulants or antiplatelet drugs, follow the doctor’s instructions to discontinue or adjust them.
- Necessary tests, such as blood tests and imaging scans, should be completed before treatment to confirm the precise tumor location and finalize the treatment plan.

2. Managing Side Effects During Treatment:
- Consult a doctor promptly if experiencing skin abnormalities, pain, or changes in overall health during treatment.
- Follow medical advice for gastrointestinal or urinary symptoms and address them as needed.

3. Lifestyle and Daily Care:
- Protect the skin during treatment by washing gently during baths and applying moisturizers to prevent irritation.
- Maintain a balanced diet and get adequate sleep to help prevent a weakened immune system.

4. Regular Follow-Up:
- Attend regular follow-up appointments after treatment to monitor progress and check for side effects or recurrence signs.
- Report any recurrence of symptoms or changes in health to the doctor promptly.
