Need advice on how to help my mom regain weight?

Hello,

my mom was diagnosed early in July.

Given the nature of this awful cancer, she was " lucky " because it was caught early enough to allow her to go through surgery and chemo. She is still around, doing chemo, no evidence of the cancer having spread or reoccurrence so far.

However, she's had a really hard time gaining weight and right now she's only at 40,8 kg at a height of around 165 cm. She says that nothing tastes good or that she always feels nauseous. She has a tendency to throw up when she does eat as well.

She is taking meds for nausea and pancreatic enzyme supplements, but I'm guessing it's a mix of the chemo and the surgery on her pancreas that is causing this. I'm really not sure what to do because it seems like there is no winning right now. Even if the cancer doesn't come back, obviously if she doesn't eat and gain weight this will be what ultimately kills her.

Does anyone have advice on food that might be agreeable after chemo / pancreatic surgery? It's become really hard to convince her to even try eating at this point. : (
