What should I eat if I have lung cancer?

Lung cancer is a type of cancer. So after getting lung cancer, what should lung cancer patients pay attention to in their diet? Now I will briefly introduce the dietary precautions for lung cancer patients:

What should lung cancer patients eat during chemotherapy?

During chemotherapy, cancer patients will inevitably suffer certain damage to normal cells while killing tumor cells, resulting in corresponding toxic side effects, such as decreased immunity, leukopenia, digestive ulcers, hair loss, etc. At this time, patients should supplement with high-protein foods, such as milk, lean meat, fish, animal liver, jujube, etc., and eel, black fish, beef, etc. can also help increase the number of white blood cells.

What should lung cancer patients eat during radiotherapy?

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that during radiotherapy, cancer patients often consume the body's yin and body fluids due to the "heat and toxicity" of radiation, resulting in dry mouth and lips, red tongue with less coating, decreased taste and smell, and poor appetite. Therefore, you can take more foods that nourish yin and promote body fluids, such as lotus root juice, radish juice, mung bean soup, reed root soup, watermelon, etc., and eat more fish, meat, milk, honey, fresh fruits and vegetables.

How to match the food after surgery for lung cancer patients?

Cancer patients usually show deficiency of qi and blood, and weakness of spleen and stomach after surgery. Therefore, during dietary treatment, attention should be paid to proper nutrition and calorie supplementation, and high-protein and vitamin-rich foods should be given. On the other hand, attention should be paid to regulating spleen and stomach function and invigorating stomach qi. In terms of food selection, in addition to milk and eggs, fresh fruits and vegetables should be eaten appropriately. If the physical condition is weak after surgery, blood-nourishing foods such as chicken, beef, jujube, longan, etc. should be given. Different foods should be selected according to different surgical sites. For example, after chest surgery, more foods that can expand the chest and benefit the diaphragm, relieve cough and reduce phlegm should be taken, such as jujube, lotus root, monk fruit, longan, etc.

This is the end of the introduction to the diet for lung cancer patients. For more relevant information, please refer to other content on this website. I wish all patients a speedy recovery.
