1, Chinese and Western medicine combined treatment: It must be admitted that timely chemotherapy has a definite curative effect, but everything should be seen dialectically. In the clinic, the toxic side effects brought about by simple continuous chemotherapy are obvious to all; and Chinese medicine can effectively alleviate these toxic side effects and has a definite therapeutic effect on microscopic residual leukemia, which also has the advantages of low cost, less pain, stable long-term effects and easy acceptance by patients than simple chemotherapy. The combination of Chinese and Western medicine can complement each other’s strengths and should be the preferred strategy for leukemia treatment.
2, to timely review: After the disease is stable or complete remission through treatment, there are many patients that relaxed vigilance, take it lightly, no longer timely and regular review. This is very wrong and dangerous. Because leukemia, as a complex and dangerous disease, is characterized by rapid changes and easy recurrence, stable and complete remission also requires timely review and dynamic observation of the disease at all times to prevent recurrence and consolidate treatment for eventual recovery.
Patients with leukemia should maintain personal hygiene, change underwear regularly, change bed sheets frequently, bathe and scrub their bodies regularly. Stop bleeding by in situ compression and caulking when bleeding occurs. When the temperature is high, leukemia patients’ wounds do not heal easily, so surgery is minimized, etc. Leukemia’s own clotting mechanism is poor and accidents should be minimized.
When the temperature is high, leukemia patients should eat more mixed vegetable food, food rich in fiber, vitamins, high protein: such as fruit, celery, animal liver, lean meat, silver fungus, soybeans; should always drink green bean soup, etc. to prevent heat stroke, do not eat cold food (refrigerator frozen food), etc. Patients in the mental state, appetite, sleep, urine and stool to maintain normal, if necessary, hospitalization.
3, nutrition should be reasonable with: most leukemia patients are weak, the dietary structure should be reasonable to ensure nutritional intake. To choose a high-protein, high-calorie, high-fiber and low-fat diet, such as fish, lean meat, eggs, milk and other foods, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. During the treatment period, it is also important to have a moderate diet and observe the basic dietary contraindications. According to years of clinical experience, any food that is spicy, cold, greasy, fishy or has special stimulating properties should be avoided. The general dietary principle is roughly vegetarian-based, with a meat-to-vegetable ratio of 3s7. In terms of diet, it should be said that there is no food that leukemia patients should not consume. Just to avoid unnecessary complications during the patient’s treatment, leukemia patients should pay attention to the following points in their diet: (1) Pay attention to dietary hygiene and avoid eating raw, cold, overnight or spoiled food. Fresh fruits must be washed and peeled before food.
(2) Try to avoid hard or fried food, such as fish products should try to remove the bones and spines to prevent hard objects from piercing the oral mucosa in eating, resulting in oral ulcers or even secondary local infection.
(3) Pay attention to the reasonable mix of dietary structure, less spicy and stimulating food, as far as possible to eat fresh vegetables. For those who have poor bowel habits or habitual constipation before the disease, special attention should be paid to the supplementation of fiber-rich foods. The actual fact is that you will be able to get a lot more than just a couple of days to get a lot more than just a couple of days.
4, to pay attention to the prevention of colds: in all the factors that cause the recurrence of leukemia, colds should be the most common factors. According to Chinese medicine, a cold is an external disease that attacks the body and causes abnormalities in the function of the internal organs. Leukemia patients are weak and have a low resistance to disease, once attacked by external evil, it is easy to take advantage of the weakness to induce internal heat poisoning, resulting in the onset of poisonous evil and relapse of the disease. Therefore, in daily life, patients with leukemia must always pay attention to the prevention of colds, pay attention to weather changes, timely increase and decrease clothing, avoid getting wet and cold.
