A member asked:
My wife is going through chemo and has cancer. what is the best type of diet to help combat this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Healthy diet: She should eat healthy which means avoiding too much of animal fats. She can eat an equal amount of carbs (pasta and starches) and proteins like eggs and low fat dairy. As long as her weight is in the normal range there is not much to worry about. Just a balanced meal is what she needs to consume.F.
