Hi Shelly:
You should steam the veggies not boil it. Boil it, all the good stuff - vitamins drain out thru the water that cooks.
Steam fish (which good for him in many way), you can google to search for steam fish recipes or at this forum of the cancer nutrition section...
As his age is 61, pls ask the doctors for pneumonia / flu and shingles shots to prevent complication at the end.
Take care.
Best wishes,
Vic
