How to treat advanced lymphoma

My mother has diabetes and heart disease. Recently, her diabetes has worsened. She has occasional abdominal pain and has lost a lot of weight. After a checkup, she was diagnosed with advanced lymphoma, which has spread throughout the pancreas, intestines and duodenum. The doctor decided to interrupt the operation and suture the wound. Can my mother's condition still be treated? How can I relieve her pain and prolong her life?

At present, it is difficult to have a clear answer to the question of how long one can live with advanced lymphoma. The main factors affecting how long one can live with advanced lymphoma are the treatment method and the patient's physical condition.

Clinically, the main treatments for advanced lymphoma include surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, biological therapy, and traditional Chinese medicine. If the patient is in good physical condition and can tolerate surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, these methods can be chosen. For patients with advanced lymphoma who have a wide range of metastases, weak physical functions, and can no longer tolerate chemotherapy, biological therapy or traditional Chinese medicine can be used. Although the short-term effect is not as obvious as chemotherapy, the long-term effect is good and has a significant effect in alleviating pain, improving the quality of life, and prolonging the survival period.

Improving immune function and enhancing resistance to tumors are extremely important for patients with advanced lymphoma. In terms of diet, lymphoma patients should eat more foods with anti-cancer and analgesic effects, such as walnuts, bitter melon, malt, etc.; they should eat more anti-infection foods, such as olives, black plums, mung beans, bitter melon, etc.; and avoid greasy and high-fat foods.
