Dietary considerations for patients with bone cancer at different stages

Bone cancer can be divided into early, middle and late stages according to pathological staging. At each stage, patients should pay attention to their diet to help their body recover.

In the early stages of bone cancer, the patient's positive energy has not declined, but the negative energy is gradually increasing. In order to prevent the expansion of negative energy, the treatment should focus on attacking the negative energy. The diet should be light, and patients should eat more fresh vegetables, such as carrots, amaranth, rapeseed, spinach, leeks, celery, aloe vera, cauliflower, pumpkin, tomatoes, etc. They should also eat more fresh fruits, such as apples, bananas, kiwis, etc.

For patients in the middle stage of bone cancer, their positive energy is gradually declining and evil energy is already strong. At this time, the treatment should be to eliminate the evil while adopting methods such as invigorating qi and nourishing blood, nourishing yin, and assisting yang. The diet should be light and mainly warm and nourishing. Patients with qi deficiency can eat jujube and lotus seeds; patients with blood deficiency can eat peanuts and walnuts; patients with yin deficiency should eat kiwi and asparagus; patients with yang deficiency can eat long beans, ginger, etc.

In the late stage of bone cancer, the body will undergo a series of malignant changes, which can be described from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine as the evil qi is strong, the righteous qi is extremely weak, and the body is extremely weak. It is difficult for decoctions to enter the body, and strong attacks are difficult to work. At this time, the patient's body is extremely weak, and the diet should be mainly large doses of nourishing food. You can eat foods rich in protein and vitamins, such as silkworm pupae, kiwi fruit, jujube, mushrooms, hericium erinaceus, kelp, hairtail, white fungus, milk and other foods. The above foods are not only rich in nutrients but also have anti-cancer effects.
