My mom has cancer what should she eat or just any advice?


my mom is the only thing i have and if she dies i would have to be put up for adoption.

It depends upon the type of cancer and what her oncologist says...if liver or kidney cancer then maybe no high protein..ask the doctor first...

Try high protein bland foods that are cool or lukewarm, like cold hard boiled eggs, rax or arby's plain roast beef sandwiches, cool bottled water, saltine crackers (if nausea)...and whatever else she likes...

Hi

I found this interesting article on how to help someone with cancer--don't think about adoption yet, concentrate on being there for your mom. Consider going to Church to get emotional and spiritual encouragement during this difficult time. I'm sure you'll get some help there too- remember you are not alone -a lot of people had loved ones who had/has cancer.
Don't lose hope - rather pray when you feel discouraged

all the best xxx

How you can Help Someone Who Has Cancer

If a friend or relative has cancer, the most important thing you can do is to be yourself! Many people who have cancer say that the people they love suddenly treat them differently or stay away completely.

It's natural to feel frightened, anxious, or even angry when someone you know has cancer, but don't let that keep you from being there for your friend or loved one. You may need help dealing with your strong emotions, and there are many places you can turn: Many hospitals have counseling groups for families and friends of people with cancer. Or you can talk to an adult whom you trust for support and reassurance. You can also visit websites related to cancer. Another way you might help a person with cancer is to consider volunteering at a hospital or clinic that treats people with cancer. Volunteering is an excellent way to show your support.

If a close friend or family member has cancer, he or she may be on an emotional roller coaster. Being in the hospital or having to stay home a lot to rest can be isolating and cause a person to feel lonely. Most people with cancer like having their friends and family around, even if the visits are short and there may not be much to say. If you're not sure whether to visit, ask. Even if your schedule is very busy, you can keep in touch in other ways, like sending cards, talking on the phone, or using email. It will do a lot to lift the spirits of someone you know who is dealing with cancer.

Keep in mind that the person you care about is simply sick. Despite the cancer, he or she is still the same person you've always known and loved.

There isn麓t a specific diet that patients with cancer should do....

If it is colon cancer, than it麓s a different story..
