My mother is receiving chemotherapy. What should I give her during chemotherapy?

I had chemotherapy two years ago! It may be that different chemotherapy drugs have different side effects. Now that medicine is getting better and better, I don't feel anything particularly uncomfortable! Mainly the decline of white blood cells! At that time, I ate millet stewed sea cucumber, loach crucian carp soup, soybean stewed pig's trotters, Cordyceps duck soup, pigeon soup and so on. There are also wuhong soup and all kinds of fruits, so I will eat it anyway! Eat more if you have a good appetite. If you have a bad appetite, you must remember to eat less and eat more. Would you like to work harder and eat more? Don't force it!

Don't lie down all the time, talk more and take a walk when you have the strength. Distraction is more important!

I remember that I had a patient's grandfather with advanced liver cancer. Every chemotherapy is the loudest. As soon as the last chemotherapy is over, he said that he would travel to Thailand and bring us gifts. Hahaha, but he is a warm person, so his attitude is still very good!

Chemotherapy is a method of using anti-tumor drugs to take certain measures and schemes to treat malignant tumors, and it is also the main means to treat malignant tumors, which can make patients' condition relieve for a long time, prolong their survival time, prevent recurrence and improve their quality of life.

Almost all chemotherapy drugs can cause nausea, vomiting and abnormal taste, thus affecting appetite. Some drugs can also cause diarrhea, constipation or liver damage, leading to malnutrition, decreased immunity and accelerated deterioration of the disease. Therefore, patients should strengthen nutrition, nutrition and pay attention to the deployment of diet during chemotherapy to increase their ability to resist chemotherapy reactions and diseases.

During chemotherapy, you should eat more foods rich in protein, iron and vitamins, such as animal liver, lean meat, jujube, fresh fruits and vegetables. For patients with anorexia, dyspepsia and diarrhea, white lentils, jujube and other foods can be supplemented. If the reaction is too serious, cooperate with the doctor for parenteral nutrition supplement:

1. In order to ensure adequate nutrition for patients, we should do everything possible to increase their appetite, change the variety of dishes frequently, and pay attention to the collocation of color, fragrance and taste.

2. Ensure adequate intake of protein.

3. Avoid eating indigestible foods, and eat more digestible foods such as boiling, stewing and steaming.

4. Eat more vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins.

5. Appropriate use of Chinese medicine diet, eat more foods such as hawthorn and radish to strengthen the spleen and stimulate appetite.

Generally speaking, during chemotherapy, in addition to a light diet to avoid irritating smell and diet, patients should also be given a peaceful and comfortable rest environment, often chatting with patients and listening to soothing music to distract their attention. It is best to let patients rest quietly after meals 1 hour or so to keep their mood relaxed, which is beneficial to the treatment of diseases.

Thanks for reading!

After chemotherapy, I feel very painful. During chemotherapy, due to the toxic and side effects of chemotherapy, the patient's appetite will be poor, plus nausea and vomiting, bitter taste and tasteless taste, which will aggravate the condition and make the chemotherapy patient anorexia.

At that time, chemotherapy was basically not eaten, because the reaction of vomiting was too strong to eat at all. So, if I don't vomit during chemotherapy, it's really lucky. I can eat whatever I want, and of course I choose nutritious food.

Strengthening nutrition during this period is to strengthen immunity. We should eat a small amount of food many times, eat cleanly, eat healthily and eat fresh. For example, when I was in chemotherapy, I vomited obviously, and I only took a sip of rice and soup, which was hard to swallow.

There is always a feeling of vomiting and nausea. The only way is to stop vomiting, and the other is to drink more. This is also inevitable. Because chemotherapy is too toxic, doctors suggest drinking more water, and if you drink too much, you will want to vomit. This creates a vicious circle.

Therefore, drink fruit juice, drinks, milk and so on. Replacing water has become a very good choice, which can not only get a little hunger on an empty stomach, but also achieve the effect of drinking water to detoxify. If your appetite is ok, you might as well eat quail eggs, one or two at a time, as well as bone soup and fish soup.

I am in a cancer hospital, and drinking liquid during chemotherapy can control white blood cells in a normal range. How rare!

Don't ask for less fruit after drinking the soup. It is also a good choice to eat some digestible fruits, such as mangoes, strawberries and bananas.

Of course, doctors will also suggest some better foods, such as sea cucumber, eggs, lean meat and fish, which are all high-protein foods. In addition, the folk mud soup is also a good choice, but these premises are that you have an appetite and you have to drink it continuously to be effective.

I can't drink these anyway. If you feel weak, you can drink nutritious powder. This is comprehensive and balanced, and the effect is good!

Many people look down on chemotherapy, and even say that "the more chemotherapy, the faster you die". These people don't understand chemotherapy, and listening to the wind is rain.

Some cancers are found in time and do not need chemotherapy, such as early gastric cancer, breast cancer and lung cancer. If it can be found in the early stage, it will be fine to remove it directly, without chemotherapy and without the side effects of chemotherapy.

But unfortunately, the incidence of malignant tumor is very high, and some people are not lucky enough to find it at an early stage. In order to fight cancer cells, we can only find various effective means, including chemotherapy.

The contribution of chemotherapy is undeniable. Since cancer was discovered, medical scientists have been constantly looking for ways to suppress it, and chemotherapy is one of the effective means.

This is an elderly woman with small cell lung cancer. Two years ago, it was diagnosed as advanced stage, with multiple lymphadenopathy in hilum and mediastinum, and there was no chance of operation. Fortunately, she has been sensitive to chemotherapy for more than two years, and the review is very stable, and the focus has shrunk a lot:

There are many such examples. Let's give another one:

This is a 62-year-old man with recurrent bleeding from colon polyps, who is ready for hospitalization. Results Lung adenocarcinoma metastasis was found by preoperative examination, and all the white spots in the film were pleural metastasis. It is a pity to do genetic testing, and it is not suitable for targeted therapy.

Fortunately, I am sensitive to chemotherapy and I am hospitalized once a year. This year is the third year.

Metastatic nodules on the pleura are no longer visible. This is a patient who has been living on chemotherapy for more than 3 years, and now he is well controlled (he changed his chemotherapy regimen in the middle).

So for the elderly who are undergoing chemotherapy, confidence is very important and mood is very important! There are many treatments for cancer, and there are strict guidelines. Since the doctor suggested chemotherapy, the old lady should be sensitive. Encourage her confidence in treatment, a good mood is conducive to enhancing her appetite.

Chemotherapy has side effects. Some people jokingly call it killing the enemy 1000 self-injury 800. In fact, the side effects are getting lighter and lighter now. However, some delicate cells are still easily damaged by chemotherapy, such as gastrointestinal mucosa epithelium, hair follicles and nerves, so nausea, vomiting and alopecia are more common. You should eat some soft rice at this time.

How should chemotherapy patients eat? We usually have nausea and diarrhea when our stomach is cold, and we don't like to eat. We like to eat some millet porridge, vegetable soup with little oil, soft mushrooms, broccoli, kelp and minced meat with a little stew, seaweed soup, tomato and egg soup and so on. Easy to digest, nutritious and delicious.

Sick old people are as delicate as children, and occasionally have a little temper. It is hard to serve such an old man, but it is absolutely necessary! Ask for leave when you should, the children have to be raised, and relatives are still there!

Larger hospitals also have special nutrition departments, and canteens also have special catering, so you can consult them when it is convenient.

Just finished six courses of treatment, I can eat whatever I can during chemotherapy. There must be no less vegetables and fruits. It is best to eat pig's hand, crucian carp soup, ribs and winter melon soup in turn, and eat whichever you like. Boiled silkworm chrysalis quail eggs can be eaten two or three at a time, taking turns. I was able to drink water at first, but then I couldn't drink any more. I cook five red soups, drink yogurt, drink drinks, and drink porridge in turn. I have been treated for six times, and my white blood cells have not been low, and they are all qualified. Stick to a belief, eat hard, not take tonic, eat more, and the index is not low. I don't want a white needle, and I have a headache. Persistence is victory! Come on!

Cancer patients usually have some gastrointestinal reactions during chemotherapy, such as nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, abdominal distension, constipation, and diarrhea in some patients. Therefore, during chemotherapy, in view of these gastrointestinal reactions and the nutritional status of patients, it is recommended to eat more high-protein and digestible foods and less fried, spicy and indigestible foods.

Eating more high-protein food is beneficial to the recovery of body function, the reconstruction of immune function and the reduction of bone marrow suppression. High-protein foods include eggs, milk, fish and lean meat. For example, every day 1~2 cups of milk, 2~3 eggs and 3~4 meats.

On the other hand, you are good at digesting food because of the decreased digestive function. Some indigestible foods, such as fried food and glutinous rice, are advised to eat less, so as not to increase the burden on the digestive tract.

Patients are prone to constipation during chemotherapy, so they should drink more water, eat more vegetables and fruits, and develop the habit of defecation regularly. If you don't defecate for 2~3 days, be sure to talk to your doctor and use kaisai dew or laxatives if necessary. Keeping the stool unobstructed is beneficial to the recovery of gastrointestinal function.

I hope my answer can help you.

Chemotherapy is not a good treatment, and it has been controversial since it came out, and it is still the same now. It kills cancer cells and harms innocent people, and most of them have serious side effects. But many times there is no more effective method to replace it, so chemotherapy has become the treatment that everyone has to choose. There are many cases of gastrointestinal reactions caused by chemotherapy, ranging from not wanting to eat to nausea and vomiting, extremely painful and even severe retching. This state leads to insufficient nutrition supply, physical decline, and is not conducive to the recovery of toxic and side effects such as bone marrow suppression. So, how to eat during chemotherapy?

Chemotherapy is harmful to gastrointestinal mucosa, so it is necessary to eat more liquid food and reduce the pressure on gastrointestinal tract, a small number of times. Chemotherapy with cytotoxic drugs, drink more water and soup to promote excretion. For example, some drugs such as cisplatin need a lot of water during chemotherapy, and hydration reduces the damage of heavy metals to the kidney.

Supplementing protein, including animal proteins, such as meat, eggs, milk, soybeans and bean products, are all high-quality plant proteins. Some people used to worry that isoflavones in soybeans were not good for breast cancer. It has been proved that they will not only promote the recurrence of breast cancer, but also reduce the recurrence. It is suggested that the ratio of meat, fish and eggs should be about 2-4, with fish and poultry as the best meat, red meat with high and low saturated fatty acid content, milk of about 300ml and soybean or its products 1-2.

Supplementing carbohydrates, that is, whole grains, including potatoes and miscellaneous beans, provides calories, cellulose and B vitamins. The preparation method avoids frying, easy to digest, too spicy and irritating, and greasy. Generally speaking, eat as much as possible, preferably at least 2 or 3 ounces.

Fresh fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber. It is suggested that patients can eat more than five kinds of vegetables (leaves and stems) every day, 1 kg-1.5 kg, half kg-1 kg of fruits and vegetables, and eat some of them. Deliberately eat some "anti-cancer vegetables and fruits", such as mushroom food, sweet potato, broccoli and so on. , not recommended, and the function is not clear, excessive pursuit is easy to be partial eclipse.

During chemotherapy, you should eat more soup and water, which is easy to digest, avoid oily and spicy food, avoid fried, grilled and smoked food, and eat more high-protein and high-calorie food, but it is not suitable for long-term consumption, which is easy to cause obesity and does not meet the anti-cancer requirements of some tumors, such as colorectal cancer and breast cancer. I'm Dr. @ Liu Yongyi, thank you for reading!

My eight courses of treatment ended on July 15, during which I ate more seasonal vegetables and fruits, oxtail soup, beef sauce, stewed beef with radish, lean meat, pork vermicelli bone, yam, loofah, silkworm chrysalis, milk, various bean products, pig's trotters, pigeon soup and various fish and shrimp, all of which were eaten in different ways. During this time, I have never had a white needle, and I insist on taking 7 thousand to 10 thousand steps every day to relieve the pain.

My sister received 8 courses of chemotherapy (intravenous oxaliplatin+capecitabine once every 2 1 year) for gastric cancer in June, 201year. During this period, our family has been responsible for diet and daily life. Let's briefly talk about our family's "experience" for reference.

First, eat in small quantities.

Sister's tumor is located in the stomach, so a small amount of meals is the big principle of diet care.

During chemotherapy, my sister's appetite was greatly suppressed, and six meals a day was the standard. Even if she eats very little, my mother will make sure to eat at least six meals a day. Breakfast at 6 o'clock is usually egg flowers in sugar water; At 8 o'clock, I will cook some rotten noodles+tomatoes with broth; 10, which is Jiji Decoction (to alleviate bone marrow suppression); 12 is the most important lunch. We usually stir-fry beef, pork liver, duck and so on. Mix it into powder in porridge, and then force her to eat vitamin C supplements such as asparagus and kiwi fruit; At 2 pm, I will add a little fruit+yogurt+a bowl of rotten noodles; At 4 o'clock, my sister ordered vegetables, fruits, beef and mutton, anything (no taboo).

Because my sister doesn't go to bed until after 9 o'clock every day during chemotherapy, we won't arrange dinner too late to avoid stomach upset after lying down. If she wants to eat something by herself at night, my mother has to get up and go into the kitchen.

Second: Try to eat with clear goals.

There will be different degrees of bone marrow suppression in the process of chemotherapy, so it is necessary to supplement animal viscera such as pig liver and pig blood appropriately. Many fruits and vegetables in nature are natural "anti-cancer artifacts", such as asparagus, green tea and garlic. It is worth mentioning that these artifacts need reasonable cooking to achieve the effect of cancer prevention. My sister eats asparagus at least once a day, every day.

Third, try not to be shy.

Although controversial, the concept of "hair growth" in western medicine is not established. And chemotherapy itself is a consuming process. Too little intake will make it difficult to restore vitality and cannot support follow-up treatment.

Fourth, prepare meals according to patients' preferences.

It is easy to understand that as family members, we hope that patients can eat as much as possible to help the body recover quickly from nutrient intake. So don't blindly follow the "expert prescription" to ask patients. Imagine being sick+having a bad appetite and being forced to eat some food you don't like every day?

Finally, if the patient's intake is not enough, you can consider adding some nutrients, which are available in the oncology department, and most of them are reimbursed by medical insurance.
