What to do to prevent recurrent cancer?

After surgery and chemotherapy for cancer, besides using drugs, patients need to comply with psychological, food and movement therapy to help prevent and relapse.

Anyone can get cancer, the chance of getting it increases with age. When the body has gradually degenerated, reduced resistance is a condition for disease to arise. A very small tumor formed in a certain organ, having favorable conditions will gradually cause discomfort to force patients to go to the doctor and when cancer is known, it is usually no longer early stage.

Doctor Quan Van Hung, former head of the Department of Cancer, HCM City Institute of Traditional Medicine said that when it comes to cancer treatment, people often think of drugs. However, the drug is only one of four treatments.

According to Dr. Hung, treatment by destroying tumors with surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy often results in immediate results. The risk of recurrence and metastasis is difficult to avoid due to only addressing the manifestation of cancer (which is tumor) but does not completely prevent the arising of general disease and cancer in particular. Meanwhile, in addition to adherence to treatment, patients need to apply 4T therapy to prevent the risk of relapse and metastasis. In which T1 is Spirit - Psychology - Spirituality, T2 is Food, T3 is Practice, T4 is Drug.

With these 4 courses, T4 is responsible for the doctors (treatment). The remaining 3T is done by the patients themselves, the doctor only reminds and guides . "The patient has to save himself, the doctor only helps treat when he still sees the tumor. In other words, for cancer patients, the best doctor is himself, because only he can solve the basic problem. and long term all diseases " , Dr. Hung analyzed.

T1 factor has been shown to play an important role to overcome disease. Many scientific evidences show that stable psychology and mental stability are good conditions to increase the immune system's resistance to disease. It is possible to call it the gas according to traditional medicine. The immune system is strong enough to successfully resist the causes of disease, traditional traditional medicine called evil air. When the disease has appeared, it should be treated promptly (T4) and then strengthened the immune system to prevent relapse and metastasis.

Life is full of anxiety, sadness, anger and fear, the main cause of stress contributes to the decline of the immune system. According to doctors, there is no medicine to cure the sadness and anxiety that patients self-regulate in order to resolve to their roots, helping them feel calm.

Patients need to apply 4T therapy to prevent the risk of relapse and metastasis.

T2 is food therapy. The patient needs to eat enough nutrition but balance well, eat well but have to heal. Whether to eat or not and how the patient is proactive and self-deciding, because no one eats for his health. Eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, less meat, less fat, less sugar, limit industrial foods that contain a lot of chemical additives. Sesame brown rice is a simple but effective menu.

T3 is a nursing training. Man is an animal. Therefore, human expression is motivated to improve health. Industrialized lifestyles limit the necessary natural movements of people such as walking, running, jumping . The lack of exercise stagnates blood circulation, contributing to disease.
