Rehabilitation period is very important for cancer patients. It not only concerns the quality of life in the future, but also affects the recurrence, metastasis, and even the length of the patient's survival.
Cancer patients are at a high incidence of recurrence within 2 to 3 years. Whether cancer recurs is affected by a variety of factors, such as the nature of cancer. Some cancers have high malignancy, such as pancreatic cancer or small cell lung cancer . Even after the operation is successful, the possibility of recurrence is high; in addition, the operation has not cleared the cancer lesions hidden in the body or the cancer has metastasized, and the possibility of recurrence is extremely high after a few years. During the rehabilitation period, take medication as directed by the doctor, and go to the hospital for follow-up visits regularly.
Cancer patients want to improve the five-year survival rate of , they should pay attention to the tumor recovery period and do not think that everything will be fine after surgical removal. After all, it is difficult to completely remove cancer cells through surgery and chemotherapy, so there is still a possibility of recurrence and metastasis. Therefore, within 5 years after treatment, if the patient's resistance is too poor and the cancer constitution has not changed, the possibility of recurrence is still relatively high. However, if the patient relapses again, strong treatment methods such as chemotherapy can no longer be used to prevent relapse. Therefore, after treatment, patients should add more conditioning and rehabilitation to their bodies to keep the body in a good state of disease resistance.
Some patients also have certain misunderstandings during the recovery period. After the patient is discharged from the hospital after treatment, he is prone to worry about gains and losses. He is most afraid of the spread or metastasis of cancer cells, and even has strict requirements on his or her work, diet and exercise. Sometimes he or she dares not eat, and he or she will immediately lie in bed to rest when he is a little uncomfortable, but this will reduce the immunity of and , which will increase the risk of cancer recurrence. It should be clear that almost most tumors may have a certain chance of recurrence, and the size of the recurrence is related to the nature, type of tumor and whether they receive standardized treatment. But if patients are worried all day long, worrying about this and that, it is even more unfavorable to the recovery of the disease, don’t forget to maintain a positive and optimistic attitude and have a happy mood, which will also help us overcome cancer. Therefore, cancer patients should not think so much. They should listen to their doctors, maintain a regular and healthy diet and routine, and have regular reviews.
Some patients feel that their bodies are weak after the treatment and are afraid that overwork will not be good for the recovery of the disease. They dare not do anything after being discharged from the hospital, dare not get out of bed to exercise, dare not exercise, dare to go out, etc. In fact, cancer patients should exercise appropriately during their recovery. As for what exercises and intensity to choose, it depends on the patient's actual situation. If you persist for more than 30 minutes a day, the disease will recover faster and better. It is recommended that patients who have just been discharged from the hospital can take a walk and walk quickly first. They should proceed step by step. It is most suitable for exercise until they sweat slightly. In addition, patients in the recovery period can also choose to do exercises, Tai Chi , etc., which are all very good exercises for the recovery of the disease.
Regular follow-up and treatment of cancer rehabilitation period is very critical, and to a certain extent determines the patient's future destiny. Many cancer patients' condition worsens and their survival periods are shortened, not because of the cancer itself, but because the treatment during the recovery period has not kept up. The characteristics and advantages of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of cancer rehabilitation are the use of syndrome differentiation to improve symptoms, improve quality of life, prevent recurrence and metastasis, and achieve long-term survival.
Traditional medical treatment is considered from the actual situation of the patient's whole body, rather than being limited to the malignant tumor lesions themselves. Traditional Chinese medicine uses more attention to the overall balance of the patient's internal organs, qi and blood, body fluids, meridians, etc., and emphasizes the need to be fundamental to treating diseases. Early Chinese medicine treatment during the recovery period can effectively strengthen the body's functions, resist the invasion of diseases, repair the damage caused by surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and prolong the patient's survival. Traditional Chinese medicine can effectively relieve many symptoms caused by cancer, such as pain, anorexia, cough and asthma, bleeding, diarrhea, constipation, numbness, insomnia, etc. It can reduce the occurrence of bad fluid by increasing appetite and prolonging sleep time.
So, how does traditional Chinese medicine treat it during the recovery period? Share it through a case. The patient, female, was treated with surgical treatment for malignant tumors of the sigmoid colon. The postoperative pathology showed: adenocarcinoma, no metastasis was seen, invading the subseroses, and invading adjacent organs. After chemotherapy, enter the recovery period. Later, the patient had poor appetite and food, poor sleep at night, fatigue, irregular stools, pale tongue, white and greasy coating, and thin and stringy pulse. The syndrome is caused by spleen and kidney deficiency, and phlegm and dampness are contained within. Treatment is to strengthen the spleen and kidneys, remove dampness and eliminate phlegm.

He had loose stools and had a good urine. His tongue was red and his tongue was white and greasy. He had a stringy pulse. Based on the original formula, remove raw Rehmannia, Jiaohaku, and Hehuan peel, and add pomegranate peel , Amomum keratin , etc. After taking the medicine, the patient's fatigue improved significantly, he could sleep at night and took food as usual. After continuous diagnosis and subtraction, the condition was stable.
Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes the need to change the soil for the survival and development of cancer cells in the body, so as to effectively prevent tumor recurrence and metastasis. The core concept of traditional Chinese medicine treatment is dialectical treatment and holistic view, and pay attention to the balance of internal organs, qi, blood, and yin and yang of the body, which is crucial for the recovery of the disease. Especially in the cancer rehabilitation stage, traditional Chinese medicine rehabilitation treatment plays an increasingly important role. The "holistic and constant movement" principle of traditional Chinese medicine "preventing disease from before treatment" and "preventing diseases" provides effective rehabilitation and treatment methods for cancer patients who have ended routine treatment.
Here I will focus on it. No matter when cancer patients, they must be careful not to smoke or drink, otherwise it will have a great impact on the condition. In normal times, you should exercise appropriately and face life with a healthy and optimistic attitude.
