What to do if lymphoma recurs

Lymphoma is a malignant lymphoma in medicine. The occurrence of lymphoma seriously threatens the life and health of patients. Surgery is one of the commonly used treatments for lymphoma. Many people think that lymphoma will disappear after a successful operation. In fact, it is not the case. Recurrence and metastasis are prone to occur after surgery, so postoperative care and adjuvant therapy are very important. So what should I do if lymphoma recurs after surgery?

Surgery is a common treatment for lymphoma, and the treatment effect is quite significant. Surgery only removes visible cancerous tissue, but has no effect on invisible cancer cells. At the same time, surgery also causes great trauma to patients. Lymphoma surgery can easily cause patients to become physically weak and their immune function to decline. A large amount of trace elements will be lost during surgery, and symptoms such as dizziness and loss of appetite may occur. It is recommended that patients receive consolidation treatment with traditional Chinese medicine after surgery, which can reduce the damage caused by surgery to patients, regulate the patient's body functions, enhance the patient's immune function, improve physical condition, kill residual cancer cells, prevent the recurrence and metastasis of cancer cells from the root, and improve the efficacy of surgery.

TCM treats lymphoma based on the principle of dialectical treatment. According to the different constitutions of each patient, the early, middle and late stages are different, the complications are different, and the manifestations are not exactly the same. During treatment, according to the specific situation, the right medicine is prescribed to inhibit the growth of cancer cells while adjusting the patient's physical condition, relieving the patient's discomfort, reducing the tumor, enhancing the patient's immune function and ability to resist the disease, improving the patient's quality of life, and extending the patient's survival period to the maximum extent. Even if the tumor cannot disappear, the patient can still live with the tumor for a long time, or even work with the tumor.

The triple balance therapy of traditional Chinese medicine has been widely used in clinical practice and has achieved good results, winning unanimous recognition from most patients. The anti-cancer "triple balance therapy" is aimed at the recurrence and metastasis of tumors after surgery. For patients who have just undergone surgery, the main treatment goal is to enhance the patient's immunity and prevent the recurrence and metastasis of tumors through comprehensive treatment; for advanced patients, the main treatment goal is to control the recurrence and metastasis of tumors, achieve the goal of living with tumors, and prolong the patient's life. The anti-cancer "triple balance therapy" is the concrete embodiment of the holistic concept of traditional Chinese medicine and the concept of syndrome differentiation and treatment in clinical treatment. It is a combination of the independence and integrity of each specific rehabilitation therapy. In the face of cancer, we must have firm beliefs, and under the guidance of symptomatic treatment and personalized treatment plans, keep the patient's body in the best condition and eliminate the possibility of recurrence and metastasis.

In addition to choosing traditional Chinese medicine consolidation treatment after lymphoma surgery, nursing work is also very important for patients:

1. Diet care: Give high-protein, high-calorie foods, such as eggs, milk, duck, meat, etc., to ensure adequate daily nutrition and promote recovery. For patients who have difficulty swallowing and chewing, give liquid or semi-liquid food. To increase appetite, do 4 to 5 minutes of light exercise before eating and eat with family members. The menu should be changed frequently, and pay attention to color, aroma and taste; patients with poor appetite can eat small meals frequently. At the same time, give hawthorn, yam and other spleen-strengthening and appetite-stimulating drugs.

2. Psychological care: After surgery, patients may often become pessimistic, disappointed, and in a bad mood due to functional disorders or hopelessness of treatment, which may cause them to show emotional reactions such as irritability, depression, and disappointment. Therefore, as family members of lymphoma patients, you should communicate more with the patients, inform them of the details of the disease, and express more positive treatment effects to enhance their self-confidence.

3. Functional exercise: Since patients are relatively weak after surgery, they can first do some simple movements that require less effort, or do them in bed, and then gradually increase the intensity and time. It must be carried out with the help or cooperation of nursing staff according to each person's situation. Patients who cannot get out of bed can also be helped to do some local massage to improve blood circulation.

The above is an introduction to "What to do if lymphoma recurs". After surgery, lymphoma patients are recommended to receive auxiliary Chinese medicine treatment, which can kill residual cancer cells in the body, assist recurrence and metastasis, regulate body functions, enhance immune function, and improve efficacy. However, postoperative care also plays an important role in the patient's physical recovery.
