I have been reading the many posts on this website and find all of them very informative. I am however confused about sugar and protein in a cancer patients diet. My mother has just started chemo and the doctors have told her to eat whatever she wants at this point. From what I am reading she should absolutely stay away from sugar and protein as it encourages the cancer cells to grow. Is this true? What would you tell her to eat? Should she also stay away from fruit because of the sugar content? Please help, this is so new to all of us and we just want to do what is best for her.
