What details should lung cancer patients pay attention to in their daily lives?

As the incidence of lung cancer increases year by year worldwide, we will find that there are more and more patients suffering from lung cancer around us. When we are receiving treatment in the hospital, we should also pay attention to some details in life:

Eat less pickled food: To prevent lung cancer, eat less pickled food. This type of food not only contains more salt than the daily intake, but also may contain preservatives and sodium nitrite, which has adverse effects on the human body. Normally, 5 grams of salt per person per day is more appropriate. Exceeding the normal standard will increase the incidence of gastric cancer. Nitrosamines formed by the decomposition of sodium nitrite and protein are the cause of gastric cancer, esophageal cancer, and nasopharyngeal cancer.

Try to avoid alcohol damage: Clinical experiments and epidemiological surveys have shown that alcohol can cause cancer. The esophagus and stomach are the first places where alcohol reaches. Generally, people who drink frequently have a higher rate of gastric cancer than ordinary people. Alcohol has a strong impact on the esophageal mucosa. Continuous and long-term impact will damage the mucosal barrier and cause esophageal cancer. If you ignore your health and often drink a large amount of liquor with a concentration of more than 40%, the toxins in the alcohol will damage the health and metabolism of liver cells, leading to cirrhosis, and then evolving into liver cancer.

Also note the following:

01 Improve nutrition, eat more high-calorie, high-protein and high-vitamin foods, and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits.

02 Avoid crowded markets and public places, keep warm and avoid colds. Arrange rest and exercise properly, avoid fatigue, participate in social activities and work normally.

03 Maintain a good mood, pay attention to mental health, and build confidence in overcoming the disease.

04 Follow the doctor's instructions to complete traditional Chinese medicine treatment and radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Closely observe and deal with various reactions during the treatment process, and pay attention to protecting the skin of the irradiated area from friction, hot compress, physical therapy, irritating drugs and soapy water scrubbing.

05 Maintain a good mood, pay attention to mental health, and build confidence in overcoming the disease.

06 Follow the doctor's instructions to complete traditional Chinese medicine treatment and radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Closely observe and deal with various reactions during the treatment process, and pay attention to protecting the skin of the irradiated area from friction, hot compress, physical therapy, irritating drugs and soapy water scrubbing.

07 Once a month within six months after discharge, once every three months after six months, once a year after the second year, and for life. If you experience abnormal discomfort such as cough, chest pain, shortness of breath, loss of appetite, fatigue, gradual weight loss, etc., you should come to the hospital for a follow-up examination at any time.

The above is a detailed introduction to the details that lung cancer patients need to pay attention to in their daily lives. I hope it will be helpful to us. In our daily lives, we must correctly and actively treat major and minor illnesses. Once we find that we are unwell, we should seek medical treatment in time to avoid delaying the treatment of the disease and causing minor illnesses to become major diseases.
