What activities can be done after colon cancer surgery

If you are taking chemotherapy drugs, and it is a digestive tract cancer such as colon cancer, you can still eat snacks and pastries. You can get some nutrition, which is conducive to the chemotherapy and the efficacy of chemotherapy. If you eat snacks, you should eat less hard and difficult to digest foods. You can eat softer pastries and foods that are easier to digest. Chemotherapy may have more side effects. If possible, you can do some physical exercise and pay more attention to rest.

Leg curling exercise: Lie on your back, bend both knees and lift them up at the same time, bring your thighs to your abdomen, then return them to their original position, and repeat several times.

Leg raising exercise: Lie on your back, raise both legs at the same time, keep your knees straight, then put them down, and repeat several times.

Bicycle exercise: Lie on your back, flex and extend your legs alternately, imitating the movements of pedaling a bicycle. Move flexibly, with the largest possible range of flexion and extension, and do it for dozens of seconds.

Sit-ups: Lie on your back, tighten your abdomen, flex and stretch, sit up, touch your toes with both hands, a few times each time.

Chemotherapy may also be needed for early and middle stage colon cancer. Don't think that chemotherapy is only used in the late stage of cancer. Chemotherapy is an effective treatment method to kill tumor cells and can be applied to all stages of cancer. Some late stage patients cannot undergo surgery and can only choose chemotherapy.

As for whether chemotherapy is needed in the early and middle stages of colon cancer, it varies from person to person. Chemotherapy can be used when necessary, and there is no fixed pattern.

If a patient has colon cancer, it is better to undergo chemotherapy rather than surgery. The side effects of chemotherapy are relatively large, usually manifesting as hair loss, nausea and vomiting.

Because chemotherapy has significant side effects and can cause great harm to the body, it is recommended that symptomatic treatment be combined with Chinese medicine during chemotherapy.
