How to treat esophageal cancer with chemotherapy after surgery?

  Patient: Squamous esophageal cancer with 101 lymph nodes It has been more than 2 years since the onset of the disease, but this year I found out that I have squamous esophageal cancer with one lymph node metastasis. I have undergone radical surgery for esophageal cancer and the surgery was successful. I would like to know more about the chemotherapy for the above disease, such as the duration of chemotherapy, the drugs used in general, what to pay attention to during chemotherapy and what to pay attention to after the chemotherapy. What else should I pay attention to in terms of diet when recovering from this cancer, if I eat food which dishes are good, it is best to bring the practice of these dishes Hospital Thoracic Surgery: post-operative chemotherapy is generally recommended to start from 1 month after surgery, once a month, a total of 4-6 times (if physical conditions do not allow to extend as appropriate)! There are many chemotherapy regimens, 5-FU + platinum is generally recommended, and oxaliplatin is now mostly used. The most common reaction during chemotherapy is nausea and vomiting and other gastrointestinal symptoms, do not be nervous, it is only some reactions of the drug, chemotherapy will stop with the end, the doctor will help you maintain water, electrolytes and acid-base balance, patients should not stop eating because of vomiting, to keep the stool usually, eat more fruit and urinate more. Another common reaction to chemotherapy is the suppression of bone marrow, more common is the reduction of white blood cells, note that if the white blood cell count is below 3000 before chemotherapy, chemotherapy is not recommended immediately, while the suppression of bone marrow by chemotherapy will last for about a week, that is, even if chemotherapy has ended the drug still has an effect, which requires patients to recheck the blood after a week of chemotherapy, if the white blood cell count is below If the leukocyte count is lower than 3000, prompt whitening treatment should be carried out! Tumor patients are recommended to eat more mushroom foods, barley and other natural anti-cancer foods after surgery, and of course fresh vegetables and fruits are very good!
