Will breast cancer recur after five years of surgery?

Most patients believe that breast cancer will not recur after surgical treatment. In fact, this is not the case. To put it bluntly, surgical resection is like mowing the grass: the grass above the ground is cut, but the roots underground are still there, and they will grow out again after a period of time due to some inducement. In other words, resection does not mean cure. Therefore, breast cancer patients should face the possibility of recurrence. Once recurrence occurs, they should immediately go to a regular hospital for examination and the doctor will give the correct treatment plan. In addition, since traditional Chinese medicine implements the idea of ​​strengthening the body and nourishing the root, it plays an important role in improving the patient's local symptoms and systemic condition, so it can also be considered.

Breast cancer patients should face up to the possibility of cancer recurrence and should not think that everything will be fine after surgical treatment. In fact, breast cancer is one of the most treatable cancers compared to other cancers. Therefore, they should go to the hospital immediately after recurrence. Generally speaking, surgery is still the first treatment option, followed by other methods such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

Breast cancer patients after surgery should follow the principle of "diversified and balanced nutrition" in their diet, and combine meat and vegetables, coarse and fine foods. When cooking, use more steaming, boiling and stewing methods, eat less fried, spicy and irritating foods, and eat some spinach, loofah, white pear, banana, lotus root, black fungus and other foods.

In addition, patients generally experience uneasiness, anxiety, and fear after surgery, and lose confidence and courage in their future life. Therefore, family members and friends should strengthen communication with patients, participate in more simple and interesting activities, help them establish a positive and optimistic mentality, and resume normal work and life as soon as possible.

Note:

After breast cancer relapses, patients should first not be afraid, but face it bravely and calmly, and actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment; in addition, family members and friends should also care about and understand them more. In addition to paying attention to their usual diet, they should also strengthen communication with patients, participate in more happy and meaningful activities, and help them overcome difficulties.
