Can I take vitamin C if I have stomach cancer?

Is it okay to take vitamin C for stomach cancer?

1. Encourage patients to eat some fresh fruits and vegetables after surgery.

Therefore, patients can eat some vitamin B, including vitamin B2 and other vitamins, vitamin C, carotene, etc. after surgery. It is recommended that patients can appropriately supplement some fresh fruits and vegetables. If they do not eat well, they can supplement some multivitamins, etc., so as to reduce the chance of tumor recurrence and metastasis.

The key is to actively cooperate with anti-tumor treatment and try to prolong the patient's survival time. Gastric cancer patients can appropriately supplement some vitamin C, but it is recommended that patients, if the basic diet is normal, supplement some vitamins and fiber through diet, etc.
