Patient's question:
For the past two months, I've been experiencing abdominal pain and irregular menstruation. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it was stage 2A pelvic cancer. I'm not sure what that means. The doctor recommended chemotherapy. I'm wondering if it's possible to have surgery without chemotherapy for stage 2A pelvic cancer?Doctor's answer:
Hello, patients with pelvic cancer after chemotherapy. Chemotherapy may cause a decrease in your blood count, and Western medicine advocates protein supplementation. However, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) recommends the following dietary advice: You can appropriately consume fruits, vegetables, chicken, pork, beef, soy products, and milk, among other foods.Forbidden foods: Fried foods, puffed foods, spicy foods, seafood, allergenic foods, and the use of overly nourishing foods should be avoided.
It is recommended that pelvic cancer patients take TCM to regulate the adverse reactions caused by chemotherapy, such as nausea and vomiting. Yao medicine can comprehensively adjust the functions of various organs in the body and control the regrowth of cancer cells. If necessary, it should be combined with Chinese herbal medicines that have anti-tumor effects, such as Astragalus, Atractylodes macrocephala, and Scutellaria, for comprehensive treatment.
