This will only make things worse. There will be days when people with cancer cannot eat as much as they think they should. Again mild exercise and even a funny book or video that causes a healthy belly laugh may help. Cancer is a disease and requires a total mental and physical effort on the part of the patient, the caretaker and the medical team. The person with cancer will find eating right both challenging and rewarding.
Good nutrition is just as important as medicine and surgery for survival and recovery from cancer.
