I went for easy to digest foods in conjunction with the oncologist's written list of banned and recommended foods; pretty sure her office's dietician formulated it.
Made a lot of soups before chemo started and used home made stock with no salt added (hypertension and diabetic predisposition concerns). Added salt to taste when ready to serve. Mostly plant based which was partially my own food philosophy.
Found I couldn't properly digest many wheat based products so switched to gluten free.
The soups were about all I felt up to eating during the worst of the chemo's aftereffects so glad I made the effort in advance.
Also found simple egg dishes of use. The most complex proteins I could eat was chicken and I preferred when it was shredded. Oh right many of the soups were bean based.
All I can say in a general manner and wishing your uncle is his best soonest.
