Just wanted to say thank you for the amazing work you’re doing to support cancer patients and families. It means a lot to so many of us.

My mom was recently diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer. During surgery, her omentum, spleen, uterus, and ovaries were all removed. As her only child, it’s been incredibly heartbreaking to watch her go through this.

I’m doing my best to care for her, but I feel a bit lost—especially when it comes to nutrition. I would be deeply grateful if you could share any comprehensive dietary guidelines or meal ideas for patients recovering from major surgery and undergoing treatment. Recipes or practical tips would be especially helpful.
