Dena,
This will really depend on which type of cancer.
I find that a general care plan for a dx such as cancer is really
difficult to write. Instead, focus on what problem or need you have in
relation to that diagnosis. Is it risk for recurrence? Then your
approaches should focus on monitoring/screening for s/sx of recurrence, and
preventive measures, nutritional interventions, medications.
Is it pain/comfort? Then a pain care plan
will do nicely, with mention of the dx as a "related to" or "secondary
to".
Is the dx progressing or terminal? Focus
on death/dying issues and/or hospice referral as appropriate.
In other words, don't care plan for the
diagnosis so much as for the individual needs associated with the
diagnosis.
Does that help? I do have a care plan at
work for nonspecific "cancer" diagnosis, that I will email you later.
