Hello there. We are new to this journey. My 79 year old dad had bowel cancer last year which was successfully removed. From his first annual review we found out yesterday that the cancer has returned to his stomach and liver and is inoperable unfortunately. We are meeting with the consultant in 2 weeks to see what treatment is available. He is also diabetic and has angina/heart issue.
My question is one of dietary advice as I am receiving and reading conflicting information. His nurse advised a no/low fibre diet. Nothing that is too fibrous- no broccoli or other similar veg (not even in the form of a liquidised soup) no seeds, nuts, brown bread etc. He can have lots of dairy, full fat things, starchy foods though. When I have search for nutrition advice online I am being given opposite advice - a fibre rich diet with lots of fruit and veg is what he should be having.
To me, getting dad's diet right particularity given the location of his cancer and his other conditions is absolutely critical.
I would be really grateful for any advice. Thank you xx
