She should let her son eat what he likes. The importance is that he eats enough to not lose weight. I would recommend avoiding his favorite foods because he will eventually hate them, associating them with cancer and not feeling well. Bland foods are good when he is not feeling well from treatment.

Organic, organic, organic. He should try to avoid processed stuff.
Google ‘cancer fighting foods’ and google ‘carciogenic foods’ so you know what might help and what might make things worse.
I know that MSG (monosodium glutamate) is something that should be avoided.
