Cancer patients are most afraid of hearing: recurrence, spread, metastasis.
Bao Damiang from Beijing had stomach cancer surgery before, but after a year, she felt uncomfortable around her stomach and went to the hospital for examination, and it was a recurrence of stomach cancer.
In this regard, Aunt Bao felt very puzzled, I have already undergone surgery, why does the tumor recur?
This may be related to incomplete surgery. This is not to say that surgery is useless, but that surgery does not completely remove cancer cells.
What is the extent of the surgery?Was there any adjuvant therapy before the surgery?What is the stage of the cancer when it is found?
For example, some cancers are detected at an early stage and surgery is performed, when the cancer cells have not spread to the surrounding area, and the tumor can be removed by surgery. However, in some cases, the cancer cells have already spread, and surgery can only remove the visible tumor, but not the remaining cancer cells, so even if the surgery occurs, the cancer cells may "come back".
Therefore, when a tumor is found, it is not possible to completely "do everything", and it is also necessary to pay attention to follow-up adjuvant treatment, such as chemoradiotherapy, targeted therapy, traditional Chinese medicine conditioning, etc. (Can long-term use of Chinese medicine prevent metastasis and recurrence of lung cancer?)
Teach you how to prevent tumor recurrence:
1. Maintain a good attitude
Many people are scared when they hear about cancer, let alone being a cancer patient. Although I am afraid, there are so many ways to treat cancer now, and maintaining a positive and optimistic attitude to face the disease and actively treat it will help maintain the immune system, stimulate "anti-cancer activity", and help the body recover faster.
2. Develop good living Xi
Cancer patients are weak due to the disease, so whether it is diet, sleep or life, they must maintain good Xi.
Diet should be nutritionally balanced and replenish sufficient energy; sleep should be reasonably arranged and rest time, do not stay up late; do not have bad Xi in life, such as smoking, drinking, etc.
3. Regular review
Cancer cells are very cunning, and even after surgery, you can't let your guard down, because some cancer cells will "hide" during treatment, and when the patient is negligent, it will come out and multiply.
Therefore, it is very important to have a follow-up examination, and after surgery, patients should follow the doctor's instructions for regular re-examination, so as to understand their own situation as soon as possible, and if the cancer cells really spread, they can also be detected and treated accordingly in time.
4. Traditional Chinese medicine conditioning
When treating cancer, TCM can improve sleep, relieve pain, reduce the side effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and adjust the internal environment of the body.
