What should I do if my grandfather is 78 years old and has advanced stomach cancer? Please help

He can eat whatever he wants, he is so old, and there is not much hope for surgery, so it is better to do his duty as a child or grandchild.

1.Be sure to eat, it is not possible to infuse the nutrient solution. This is the cost of the body.

2.As soon as possible**. Choose what the elderly can afford. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy are not good options, and it is best to use traditional Chinese medicine for conditioning.

3.Choose the right pain reliever.

4.Spend more time with the elderly. Let him feel that he has something to rely on at all times.

5.Tell the old man about your illness. If you keep it hidden, it will increase the psychological burden of the patient.

That's all I can help.

I wish your grandfather a little healthier. The Chinese New Year is approaching, and the family is also going to have a reunion year.

The early, middle and late stages of gastric cancer are defined by such criteria:

Early stage: cancer cells are only in the gastric mucosa or submucosa, and have not invaded the muscle layer, and there may be some regional lymphatic metastasis;

Medium-stage: invasion of muscle, lymphatic metastasis;

Late stage: the invasion is very deep and even invades the surrounding organs, there are distant metastases, lymphatic metastases.

So you have to look at which stage it is, if it can be operated on at an early stage, the deep survival period after surgery can also reach 5 years.

Do you want to rule out whether it will be anastomotic stenosis? If not, it might be better to rest for a few days.

Hello! If there is a gastroscopy and a clear pathological diagnosis, the diagnosis of gastric cancer can be confirmed, but whether it is advanced or not, other examination results are needed to help diagnose.

There are no specific symptoms of gastric beam cancer, and the symptoms of related symptoms are treated in the middle of the treatment. If the patient's physical condition allows, more active measures can be considered according to the results of the examination, such as surgery, chemotherapy, etc.

Thank you for your question.

Li Jie, Beijing Cancer Hospital.

Hello! According to the information you provided, the patient has advanced gastric cancer with a large amount of ascites effusion, and if the abdominal distension symptoms are obvious, the abdominal cavity** can be selected according to the specific condition of the patient to control the ascites.

If it is convenient, you can bring all the information to see the outpatient clinic of our Department of Digestive Oncology.

Thank you for your question.

Li Jie. Dr. Li Jie of Beijing Cancer Hospital solemnly reminded that because the patient cannot be seen face-to-face and cannot fully understand the condition, the above Jianyu Xuzai discussion is for reference only, and the specific diagnosis and treatment should be carried out in the hospital under the guidance of the doctor! ）

For malignant tumors, regardless of whether surgery or chemotherapy is carried out, medicine (traditional Chinese medicine) should be taken and traditional Chinese and Western medicine should be combined. This one is certain (it can be operated on in the early stage, but it is not helpful in the late stage).

Usually we always say "integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine", when encountering this kind of serious disease, it is really the time to integrate traditional Chinese and Western medicine, should be comprehensive, not just one method.

In addition, cancer is a lifelong disease (cancer cells can be removed when they have not spread, but even if they are cut cleanly, there are always cancer cells in the body, and the ** rate is high with the accumulation of time.) Therefore, cancer is a lifelong disease), we must insist on taking medicine, and we can't think that everything will be fine after surgery and chemotherapy (after surgery and chemotherapy, there is still a long way to go, and the main task at this time is to prevent **). It's medical common sense.

Many patients just think that the surgery has been cut out, and the doctor clearly says "the operation was successful", and Tuhui thinks that the disease is cured. This is obviously a lack of medical knowledge, and as a result, it suffers from this loss). You should take the medicine after the operation, and if you don't stop taking the medicine, you can not **, thank God it is already a great achievement.

Not to mention not taking medicine.

Chinese medicine can be fully considered. It is treated with traditional Chinese medicine pills for dissolving stasis and dispersing knots, detoxifying and reducing swelling, and for pimples and tumors. As long as you find the right medicine, it is not difficult for you to know.

Due to my work, the author is well aware of the charm of traditional Chinese medicine, and has witnessed a large number of typical cases of malignant tumors being treated by traditional Chinese medicine, which verifies the uniqueness of traditional Chinese medicine in the motherland. In particular, it is effective for diseases that can be directly connected with the medicine from the top to the bottom of the digestive tract, such as esophageal cancer, colon cancer, stomach cancer, rectal cancer, and lymphoma. If you have undergone surgery or chemotherapy, one of the obvious effects of traditional Chinese medicine is that all kinds of uncomfortable symptoms of the patient will be significantly reduced and improved in the short term.

Usually pay attention not to eat spicy, as well as fried, barbecued, this orange powder is a hot and dry food.

Gastroscopy does not harm the stomach. It is recommended that you go to a higher level hospital for a systematic examination. The diet should avoid spicy, pickled food, smoked food, sticky and hard. Now, if you haven't had surgery, you can eat and drink normally if there are no adverse reactions, and you don't need to eat small meals often.

Stomach cancer can be conservative with Chinese herbal medicine**.

At the age of 84, it's better not to have surgery and take care of it.

Gastroscopy can intuitively observe the location and size of gastric ulcers, and small pieces of tissue can be taken for pathological examination to further determine whether the ulcer is cancerous. Gastroscopy is very damaging to the human body, and it is also necessary to do it for this condition. Only when the diagnosis is clear can we talk about **, don't you say?

I also advise against surgery, because every operation is very harmful to the body.
