After my mom was diagnosed with colon cancer, we added a patient friend and hoped to get some experience and advice from someone who was going through the same thing. Before chemotherapy, we asked patients a variety of questions, including precautions before and after chemotherapy, what preparations need to be made before chemotherapy, etc. Among them, regarding the dietary preparation before chemotherapy, I have compiled the suggestions given by patients and some information I have collected by myself, and now I will share them with you.
Before chemotherapy, diet is crucial for patients. First of all, we need to make sure that our mother consumes enough high-protein foods, such as fish, meat, eggs, milk, etc., to enhance the body's immunity. At the same time, eating more vitamin-rich fresh vegetables and fruits can help improve the body's resistance and alleviate the *** caused by chemotherapy
In addition, we also learned that it is necessary to avoid spicy, greasy, fried and other irritating foods before chemotherapy to avoid aggravating the burden on the stomach. It is also best to avoid processed foods and instant foods that contain more additives, as they may not be conducive to digestion and absorption.
In order to ensure that mothers can maintain balanced nutrition during chemotherapy, we also pay special attention to adding foods rich in dietary fiber such as whole grains and grains to the diet, which can help promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and prevent constipation.
In conclusion, dietary preparation before chemotherapy is very important for colon cancer patients. Through reasonable diet and adjustment, we can help mothers better cope with the challenges brought by chemotherapy and improve the best results and quality of life.
