my moms age is 69 yrs and she has been operated for periampullary ca as she had jaundice. she is a diabetic patient. after the operation till now a month has passed . day by day she is becoming weaker and weaker. what diet should i give? and any precautions to take
Dear Friend. Hi , I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern. If she has been operated and at present she has no jaundice and is conscious and alert, you should give her high protein diet. Maintain her Hemoglobin atleast between 10-11 gm/dl. Add a good multivitamin to her medications. Give her more of green leafy vegetables. Good control of blood sugar is required in Cancer, as they have reduced immunity so chances of infections are high. This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you still have any query you may please ask me. Stay Healthy. Dr Anshul Varshney , MD
