Patient's question:
In the summer of 2008, I underwent surgery for esophageal cancer, which was very successful, and there has been no spread of cancer cells to this day. However, I have lost a significant amount of weight and suffer from various conditions such as gastric ulcers and multiple inflammatory issues. My appetite is poor, and any slight discomfort in eating can lead to discomfort or even dry heaving. I also have mild diabetes.Doctor's answer:
Taking care of your stomach is particularly crucial. When taking medication, it's essential to follow a light diet. You must adhere to the scheduled radiotherapy and chemotherapy treatments. Avoid consuming excessively hot foods, as very hot foods and spicy, irritating foods can cause severe irritation to the esophagus. Therefore, drink plenty of crucian carp soup and consume more milk. These nutritious foods are easily absorbed and will not harm your stomach or esophagus.Since the stomach condition is quite serious, it's recommended that patients seek timely and symptomatic treatment. It is hoped that patients can follow their doctors' advice for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, pay attention to dietary issues, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and prevent the condition from worsening.
