1. It is recommended to drink Chinese medicine Patients taking Chinese medicine during radiotherapy may help to relieve the side effects caused by radiotherapy. Such as night sweats, abdominal distension, poor appetite, stubborn erratic and other symptoms, which may be significantly relieved after taking traditional Chinese medicine. 2.Cases where Chinese medicine is not recommended Most patients with esophageal cancer and gastric cancer face a problem of poor nutritional status and relatively thin, which is related to the disease itself cannot eat or poor digestion. Usually, during radiotherapy, doctors will prescribe some medicines to relieve symptoms, such as acid suppressants, gastric mucosa protectors, antiemetics and so on. If the patient goes to drink some soup medicine with so many medicines, he may not be able to eat. However, for these patients, the most important thing during treatment should be “eating”, so it is not recommended for them to drink Chinese medicine again. Some patients believe in Chinese medicine too much and want to cure their tumors by Chinese medicine alone. After drinking for several months, they found that their symptoms were getting heavier and heavier, and the tumor grew bigger and bigger, and finally they even lost the chance of surgery, and even had tumor metastasis, so it was too late to regret. So when I encounter this kind of situation, I will firmly oppose them to take Chinese medicine. I would like to remind you that some herbal medicines have liver and kidney toxicity and even cause cancer. For example, herbal medicines that contain aristolochic acid ingredients. So we must be careful when taking herbal medicines.
