Patient's question:
There is lymph node spread in the neck. Treatment history and outcomes: After surgery, my mother underwent 6 rounds of chemotherapy and 25 sessions of radiation therapy for the lymph nodes, which showed significant improvement. The original lymph node masses were 2.2 cm and 1.7 cm, now reduced to 0.9 cm and 0.7 cm. An abdominal CT scan revealed no issues.Hello expert, should my mother continue radiation therapy for the neck lymph node masses? Currently, my mother is experiencing lower abdominal pain. The pain is constant, with occasional severe episodes that cause great suffering. Please advise on how to treat this condition. My mother was once a national labor model and deserved to enjoy her golden years in peace, but now she is plagued by illness, and as her children, we are deeply heartbroken. I truly wish I could endure her pain in her place.
Doctor's answer:
Postoperative recurrence may lead to bleeding and abnormal menstruation. The prognosis for uterine fibroids requires maintaining a comfortable lifestyle and engaging in light exercise to aid in physical recovery. Patients who undergo laparoscopic tubal surgery and laparoscopic ovarian surgery should be able to return to their normal routine within two weeks postoperatively. For those who have undergone a total hysterectomy, in addition to avoiding horseback riding, cycling, and prolonged sitting during the initial period (within two weeks) to prevent pelvic congestion and postoperative discomfort, they should also avoid lifting heavy objects.
