What to do if you have nausea and vomiting due to breast cancer and can't eat

What should I do if I suffer from nausea, vomiting and loss of appetite due to breast cancer? For breast cancer patients, due to different physical constitutions and different tolerance to radiotherapy and chemotherapy, the degree of nausea and vomiting varies from patient to patient. If there is severe nausea, vomiting and loss of appetite during radiotherapy and chemotherapy, oncologists recommend that radiotherapy and chemotherapy should be terminated at this time to avoid causing greater harm to the patient.

So, what should I do if I can't eat due to nausea and vomiting caused by breast cancer? Precautions for diet therapy: Avoid hard and spicy foods to avoid irritating the gastric mucosa, avoid overheated and overcooled foods, and keep the food basically at room temperature. Eat high-protein, high-calorie, high-vitamin, high-fiber foods that are easy to digest and absorb. If you have difficulty eating, you can eat liquid or semi-liquid foods. For example: milk, yogurt, apple juice, orange juice, vegetable juice, etc.

Expert's recipe: Mix 5 slices of ginger, 10 red dates, brown sugar, and appropriate amount of water, boil them, and put them into a thermos cup. After the patient takes the medicine or after a meal, give the patient a small cup to drink. It can help suppress nausea and vomiting. Ginger has an antiemetic effect, and red dates and brown sugar have the effect of strengthening the stomach and spleen.
