Nowadays, more and more breast cancer patients choose to have surgery, so does cutting off the breast mean that the tumor leaves our body? Does it mean that everything is fine? Of course not, surgery is only the first step of the long march for breast cancer patients. What should we pay attention to in our life? 1. Diet – Diversification is the key Breast cancer patients should not have a diet that is too taboo, but should have a diversified and balanced diet. What should not be eaten? Chicken, snapper, eel, pollen, protein powder, bee jelly, placenta, American ginseng, female health products, hashish oil, high dose of vitamin E, etc.; fat is the important material basis for the transformation of androgens into estrogen in postmenopausal women, so we must control weight, reduce fat intake, do not overconsume high-fat food, such as fatty meat, cheese, cream, fried food, etc.; weight gain should be controlled within 10%. Should I quit smoking? Studies have shown that smoking plays a role in promoting the development and metastasis of breast cancer. Therefore, breast cancer patients must quit smoking. Can I eat seafood? In the stable stage of breast cancer, seafood can be eaten. Can I drink wine? Red wine contains white k reuthenol, which has anti-cancer, antihypertensive and cardiovascular protective effects. The amount is controlled at about 100ml. How to increase nutrition after surgery? The more you supplement, the better? Many people think that surgery and radiotherapy are very damaging to patients’ body, so after surgery, patients should eat chicken, duck, fish and meat or take various kinds of tonic products, not knowing that patients’ vitality is greatly injured after surgery and their spleen and stomach functions are deficient, so various kinds of tonic products will be piled up, which will burden patients’ body and do more harm than good to patients’ body recovery. Therefore, it is not advisable for postoperative patients to eat a large amount of meat and fish, but rather a light diet. Some studies have shown that red vegetables (tomatoes, onions, pomegranates, etc.), garlic, etc. can inhibit breast cancer. The ability of cancer cells to break down sugar is 70~80 times that of normal cells, and the enzymatic effect of blood sugar will damage the immune function and reduce the phagocytic ability of white blood cells, which is unfavorable to those who recover. 2. The risk of death caused by the disease can be reduced and the survival time after breast cancer surgery can be effectively extended. Patients who exercise 3 to 5 hours a week or half an hour a day have a significantly higher 10-year survival rate after breast cancer surgery than those who exercise less than 1 hour a week. It is advisable to choose aerobic exercises such as swimming, walking, picnics, jogging, cycling, tennis, etc. 3. Emotion – Sullenness is a killer Severe depression, anxiety, fear and other psychological disorders can cause immune system and endocrine disorders, which can increase recurrence and metastasis of breast cancer by 30% after surgery. Therefore, during the post-operative recovery period, it is more important to be psychologically conditioned. Therefore, breast cancer patients should consult a mammography specialist to correctly understand the knowledge related to breast cancer, so as not to cause adverse psychological reactions due to their one-sided understanding; communicate with patients to build up confidence in fighting with the disease; communicate well with family members, so as to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, get support and encouragement from family members and reduce the feeling of loneliness and helplessness; use psychotherapy techniques, such as music, exercise and relaxation training. Construct a healthy life concept 4. Work – go to work happily A moderate return to work, from which you can get pleasure, has a positive effect on further recovery. Generally, after 1 year after surgery, the condition is relatively stable, you can resume work, but do not force, do what you can, avoid overwork, can start from half a day, gradually adapt. 5.Couple relationship – enjoy sex life appropriately Absolute prohibition of sex life within six months after breast cancer surgery is conducive to the recovery of the organism. Resuming moderate sex life after wound healing is not only harmless to the patient, but also can give spiritual comfort to the patient, which is conducive to the recovery of the body. However, attention should be paid to contraception so as not to interfere with treatment and affect recovery. If you do need to raise offspring, generally also after 3 – 5 years after the choice of surgery. 6.Application of computer – love yourself against radiation The risk of breast cancer is 43% higher for women who are engaged in long-term work related to computer than the general non-computer work practitioners. If you work in front of a computer for a long time, it will increase the chance of breast cancer; women before menopause have a higher chance of breast cancer than those after menopause. Therefore, breast cancer patients should try to reduce long-term work in front of computer to reduce the damage of computer radiation to the body. 7.Prosthetic reconstruction—pull up your chest and be a woman After your breast is surgically removed, you can wear a prosthetic breast or have a breast reconstruction. In addition to restoring a good posture and enhancing self-confidence, it can also reduce sloping shoulders and shoulder and back pain caused by disproportionate body posture. Generally, the affected side is chosen with a filler of approximately equal weight to the healthy side to maintain the beauty of the body shape. Pay attention to the protection of the affected limb after surgery, do not draw blood or inject intravenously into the affected limb; do not lift heavy objects; avoid skin breakage and infection of the affected limb. 8, review – regular review should be adhered to The regular review after surgery is very important for evaluating the treatment effect, guiding the medication, early detection of recurrence and metastasis, and evaluating the prognosis. Generally, the review should be conducted in hospital every 3 months within 1 year after surgery, every 6 months afterwards, and once a year after 3 years. The anti-cancer drugs prescribed by the doctor should be taken consistently and should not be stopped by oneself. The examination includes: blood and urine routine, liver and kidney function, tumor index, hormone level, chest X-ray, electrocardiogram, ultrasound, etc.
