Please see a cancer surgeon. Is she on treatment for the cancer? Has it spread? If cancer has spread, she most likely has loss of appetite due to the cancer itself and nutritional supplements may not help. There are plenty of nutritional supplements in markets in the form of threaptin biscuits, ensure powder or energy and protein drinks to name a few.
