How long can you live after surgery for advanced breast cancer?

It is difficult to cure breast cancer through surgery in the middle and late stages, mainly because the cancer cells will spread. Surgical resection cannot completely cure the disease, and the patient needs to take medication to clear out the free cancer cells. Patients with late-stage breast cancer can survive for about 3 years after surgery. Patients should adjust their diet and mentality. Only with a good mentality can they improve their body's immunity to fight the disease.

Once breast cancer develops into the late stage, it is easy for free cancer cells to spread throughout the body, and people's health will be greatly threatened at this time. For patients in the advanced stage, surgical treatment can prolong their survival time. Generally, patients with advanced breast cancer can live for 2 to 3 years after surgery.

Once breast cancer develops to the late stage, cancer cells will metastasize to other surrounding parts, causing the body's systems to collapse and inducing severe symptoms. Surgery can remove fatal cancer cells, but it cannot completely remove metastatic cancer cells.

When facing advanced breast cancer, everyone must pay close attention, adjust their mental state, and face it positively. The survival time after surgery for this late-stage disease is no more than three years. If people adjust their mentality, they may survive longer than this time. This requires everyone to take good care of themselves. How can we prolong the survival of breast cancer patients?

1. Adjust your own mental state in time. Breast cancer patients can adjust their mindset and face the disease with a positive and optimistic attitude, which is more conducive to protecting themselves from the disease and promoting their body functions.

2. Insist on doing sports. Physical exercise can improve people's body's immune ability and prolong their lifespan.

The occurrence of breast cancer can affect many parts of the body and cause great harm to body functions. After the occurrence of this disease, everyone must seek timely treatment and take adequate countermeasures. At the same time, people must also seek timely examinations. Early examinations can better confirm the diagnosis.

What to eat after breast cancer surgery

1. Since the nausea and vomiting caused by the operation directly inhibits the digestive function and causes the patient to lose appetite, there is no need to force the patient to eat more at this time. Instead, the patient can eat small meals frequently and be given light liquid or semi-liquid diet, such as porridge, clear soup, steamed eggs, etc., and strive to diversify the food.

2. Eat more foods rich in vitamins, such as fresh vegetables, fruits, sesame oil, cereals, beans and animal offal. Among them, vitamin A and vitamin C have the effect of preventing the spread of cell malignancy and stabilizing epithelial cells.

3. The food you eat after breast cancer surgery must be rich in variety and have a certain anti-cancer effect. Common anti-breast cancer foods in life include soybeans, radishes, dates, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, garlic, onions, cabbage, etc.

4. Breast cancer patients should eat some sugars to replenish the body's calories after surgery, because the sugar in the patient's body will be destroyed after chemotherapy, causing the sugar element to drop rapidly and the lactic acid in the blood to increase, which is very unfavorable for patients after surgery, so they need to supplement it moderately.
