Patient's question:
Grandpa has had hepatitis C for many years. Lately, his stomach has been hurting badly, sometimes accompanied by nausea and dry heaving, and he has even been running a high fever. Today, we took him to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said Grandpa has liver atrophy due to hepatitis C and stomach cancer. We were all shocked. Can liver atrophy due to hepatitis C and stomach cancer be surgically treated?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation described, the condition is very serious. It is recommended to consult with the follow-up physician. Moreover, if surgical treatment is chosen, it must be selected based on the physical condition and the spread of cancer cells. It is advised to first undergo a comprehensive examination to diagnose the severity of the disease. Daily care should be well-managed, maintain a regular routine, prevent overexertion, avoid staying up late, ensure sufficient deep sleep, engage in moderate activity, reduce physical resistance, and always maintain a positive and optimistic attitude, which is helpful for the treatment of the disease.
