Adenocarcinoma of the stomach. Why eating speeds up the cancer?


My friend's grandmother who is 91 was diagnosed with this cancer and was told that if she eats the cancer will progress faster. How does one survive without eating aside from IV feeding? Need help understand this type of cancer but not sure which online resources are helpful. Thanks for your answers again.

Below is the diagnoses and I cannot decipher the information line by line so hopefully someone can help me understand this so I can email this back to my friend.

Her DIAGNOSIS:

A. Stomach, Antrum Biopsy
1. Antral Mucosa w/Intestinal Metaplasia; Negative for Dysplasia or malignancy
2. Alcian Yellow stain negative for H.Pylori
B. Stomach, Designated antral ulcer biopsy
1. Poorly differentiated andenocarcinoma
2. Alcian yellow stain negative for H. Pylori
