Patients with advanced ovarian cancer should maintain a balanced diet while taking traditional Chinese medicine, consume an appropriate amount of high-quality protein such as fish and eggs, and supplement with fresh vegetables and fruits. Carry out low-intensity exercises such as walking and Tai Chi according to your physical condition to avoid overexertion. Regularly review tumor markers and imaging examinations, and strictly follow the doctor's instructions to adjust the medication plan. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment needs to be performed by TCM oncologists based on syndrome differentiation in formal medical institutions. Do not trust folk remedies or increase or decrease the dosage on your own.
