Dr. Peng Xiaodong
After chemotherapy, patients are usually advised to consume high-protein foods such as soybean milk, milk, and steamed egg custard, which help replenish nutrition, improve resistance and immunity, and alleviate chemotherapy side effects like nausea and vomiting. Patients can also eat vegetables such as cabbage and bok choy, and fruits such as apples and peaches, to increase intake of vitamins, minerals, and other essential nutrients, thereby promoting recovery.
