Cancer fighting diet

[Troubled2013]

DMIL has colon cancer, incurable but treatable, whatever that means.
She's been on two different types of chemo for over a year and although she has been very positive for the most part is now really struggling emotionally, nutritionally and with the spirit crushing after effects of all the drugs she's having to take. If the cancer is treatable, I'm not sure why it is still growing despite everything they seem to throw at it.
I've heard a lot about Phillip Day and his 'cancer cure diet' which I was incredibly sceptical about until I saw that one of my colleagues treated her sister for the last three years of her life to this mostly organic/raw diet and she lived three years longer than the doctors expected her too. It did not seem to be a coincidence.
DMIL however has a different type of cancer to her, and has NO appetite to eat anything, let alone raw vegetables, but I'm desperate to help her somehow.
She was incredibly low on Monday and told me that if FIL didn't make her eat, she would probably starve herself to death. This mind-set is just not her, it's this disgusting disease killing her spirit and I'm damned if I'm going to sit back and let it. I'm a huge believer that what goes into us radiates out of us, so I'm really just looking for any advice, encouragement, success stories and hand holding from anyone who might be able to offer any.
I am no superstar cook, but I need to learn, fast, whilst being able to try my hardest to talk her into eating herself better.

Hi there, I'm the original OP'er. I don't know why I bothered name changing.
I'm sorry to hear about the people going through this also.
Reading my post back I can see how naive I was, clutching a straws. I didn't mean to come across as selfish. MIL was on board with trying to help herself through diet. When we were told in November the chemo had to stop and there was nothing else they could do, we felt like the NHS had closed its doors and wanted to look for help elsewhere.
Predictably the diet hasn't worked, we tried, but she lost a load of weight, became very anaemic and needed a blood transfusion. Told it probably would have happened anyway, in fact she's eating what she wants now now & still losing weight. The biggest regret was how it upset her. She hated the food and everything we made, she left. It just wasn't the answer for us. We just have to try and keep her eating and living as well as she can. Things are much harder now, and moving very fast.
I wish everyone all the very best and lots of luck. One day there will be a cure. I hope.

Thanks for the update, Dinah. Sorry you're going thru this. Bitch of a disease, no doubt.

I agree with raw food diet - as long as it is organic and do filter all drinking water. No sugar. There is also a great deal more you can do. Just Google 'fighting cancer' and you will quickly find very useful resources for dietary and other helpful therapies.
