Patient's question:
I have had an old stomach problem for over ten years. I have always been careful with my diet to avoid aggravating the stomach issue. When my stomach condition is severe, I take medication, and I usually drink millet porridge. Now, I don't know what happened, but my stomach problem has developed into stomach cancer. I can't even eat dinner anymore. Does stomach cancer mean I won't live much longer? Can stomach cancer be completely cured with surgery? What should I pay attention to if I have stomach cancer?Doctor's answer:
Eat more fruits to reduce the levels of vitamin A, vitamin E, and carotenoids in the body, which helps combat the side effects of chemotherapy and enhances its effectiveness. Cancer patients should consume more fruits and vegetables, such as carrots, almonds, kiwis, spinach, and pumpkin. This can also help with bowel movements, as consuming too many dry, hot foods may cause constipation. Chop a scallion into small pieces, shape them into a flat cake, and place it on the navel. Use a hot water bag to warm the scallion cake (be careful not to burn yourself).
