Patient's question:
I had surgery for gastric cancer about a year and a half ago. Suddenly, I have too much stomach acid and can't even eat food, let alone drink water. I feel completely weak. Is there any way I can eat?Doctor's answer:
The patient is in the recovery period for five years after surgery. Residual cancer cells may spread to various parts at irregular intervals, so it is necessary for the patient to strengthen and stabilize treatment post-surgery to prevent its recurrence and spread. Antioxidant traditional Chinese medicines can be used. Whether it is traditional surgery or radiotherapy and chemotherapy, incorporating traditional Chinese medicine treatment can provide short-term benefits in reducing toxicity and improving quality of life. In the long term, it can inhibit cancer cells, control spread, and prevent recurrence. For patients with severe stomach acid, it is recommended to seek medical attention immediately and follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment. Avoid using medication blindly to prevent worsening the condition.
