Diet & Nutrition

Hi,

My mum has been diagnosed with bile duct cancer stage 4! She has undergone a sitting of TACE and chemo will follow in the month of Jan 2018. The doctor's haven't given a diet to follow, which is surprising as she's diabetic too!

I would like to know on which food to avoid, foods that will help. Please help.

Thanks in advance

  • Welcome to the forum Lauretta although I'm sorry to hear about your mum's diagnosis.

    I think the best thing to do would be to get in touch with your mum's medical team (either her directly or you with her permission) to find out what they would suggest.

    Our cancer nurses are back next Tuesday so you can also discuss this with them on 0808 800 4040, between 9a.m - 5p.m if you're unable to get in touch with anyone over the new year. Also, if you use the 'search forum' option in the blue bar above and type in keywords you may find previous discussions by members with this diagnosis that have some food recommendations so do have a look around when you can.

    I'm not sure how much you and your mum know about bile duct cancer so I've included some information we have on our website for you to have a look at if you would like to find out more.

    I hope this helps and that your mum's chemo goes well next month.

    Kind regards,
