How long can you live with severe pain in the late stage of gastric cancer

Gastric cancer is a highly malignant digestive tract tumor. Patients often seek medical attention due to symptoms such as upper abdominal discomfort, nausea and vomiting. As the disease progresses, cachexia symptoms such as weight loss and anemia may gradually appear.

If gastric cancer has developed to the late stage and severe pain symptoms occur, it means that the patient's survival period may be relatively short, and his life will be in danger in about 1-3 months. At this time, it is recommended that family members stay with the patient more, provide psychological support and encouragement, and at the same time, the patient can listen to some soothing music to relieve the painful emotions.

You can also use analgesics for treatment as prescribed by your doctor, such as pethidine hydrochloride tablets, morphine sulfate sustained-release tablets, etc. If necessary, you can also use non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as aspirin enteric-coated capsules and ibuprofen sustained-release capsules through intravenous injection for analgesia.

However, the above methods can only provide temporary improvement and cannot fundamentally solve the problem of the disease. Therefore, you need to actively cooperate with doctors to take radiotherapy or chemotherapy to control the development of the disease and prolong your life.

In addition, in order to improve the quality of life and body immunity, you should also pay attention to a healthy diet and try to eat light and easily digestible foods, such as millet porridge, pumpkin porridge, etc. Avoid eating spicy and irritating foods to avoid aggravating damage to the gastrointestinal mucosa.
