1, eat more fruits and vegetables
In the process of targeted therapy, some patients will be accompanied by oral ulcer, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting. It is advisable to eat more fruits and vegetables to supplement vitamins and minerals, effectively reducing side effects or discomfort. When there are symptoms of gastrointestinal discomfort, the gastric mucosa is easily damaged. Eating more foods containing vitamin A, such as pumpkin, mango or carrot, can repair gastric mucosa. When you lose appetite, you can choose hawthorn or lemon, which has an appetizing effect. However, you should avoid eating grapefruit or grapefruit drinks when taking targeted drugs, because grapefruit contains furan coumarin, which will inhibit the enzyme activity of decomposing drugs, increase the drug content in the blood, and then increase the drug dosage.
Step 2 choose digestible food
The gastrointestinal function is weakened during targeted therapy, and foods with high nutrition and easy digestion can be selected to reduce the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, such as soybean milk and rice porridge. It is worth reminding that the nutrients in the soup are concentrated in the ingredients, so the soup and ingredients should be eaten together.
3, avoid eating spicy food.
Eating less or not eating spicy and irritating foods, such as pepper, onion, ginger, garlic or ginger, not only increases the burden on the intestines, but also easily causes gastrointestinal discomfort and even side effects. In addition, refusing to eat pickled food, which contains too much nitrite, not only harms the gastric mucosa, but also aggravates the body edema.
4. Standardize the use of targeted drugs
Be sure to take the medicine in strict accordance with the doctor's advice, and read the instructions carefully before taking the medicine to see whether to take it with meals or on an empty stomach, because mixing medicine with food may affect the efficacy.
5. Keep moderate exercise
Some patients will undergo radiotherapy or chemotherapy before taking targeted drugs or when local metastasis occurs. You can choose low-intensity or short-time exercise at this stage. Although chemotherapy drugs can inhibit the growth of cancer cells, they can also damage normal cells and tissues, thus reducing the white blood cell count, damaging immune function, leading to the invasion or infection of pathogenic bacteria, thus reducing prognosis and increasing mortality. During radiotherapy and chemotherapy, you can't go to public swimming pools or sports fields to exercise, so as not to be infected. Maintaining moderate exercise can really improve the quality of life, but it should not be rushed, and the principle of gradual progress should be adopted.
People who hardly exercise just choose to take a walk, take physical fatigue as the degree, and then gradually increase the amount of exercise after the body gradually adapts. People who do a little exercise before treatment can choose moderate-intensity exercise, such as square dance, brisk walking, yoga or cycling. People who love sports need to keep their previous exercise style, but they can't do strenuous exercise to avoid consuming physical strength and energy. In addition, cancer patients should also pay attention to the exercise environment. There are many bad weather in winter, and outdoor activities should be avoided in smog and rain and snow to avoid increasing the burden on the lungs.
skill
Patients who are receiving targeted therapy need to adjust their diet structure, and they can choose low-fat milk, lean meat and foods containing dietary fiber, such as whole wheat bread, whole grains, fruits and vegetables. Clear the time and regularity of taking different targeted drugs to ensure the best curative effect of targeted drugs.
