Low fat/low carb recipes for cancer patient and family?

Hug your family while you have them... So my good friends wife had thyroid cancer which spread to her spine/bones. Not a good prognosis to say the least.

She was the cook for the family and my friend and his kids have been eating fast food for the past month as they don't cook nor even know where to begin shopping for food. The friend has been staying at the hospital and the kids fending for themselves at home.

His wife is on a low fat only diet and has lost 20lbs in the past 2 weeks so I doubt she would eat any of it but I would like to consider her. His son is a health nut and really doesn't do carbs.

I absolutely love to cook and own an instant pot and sous vide. I want to cook them some meals to take the strain off them while going through such an unpredictable time.

Any reccomendations other than vegan/vegetarian meals?

Thanks for any suggestions

Her back story if anyone cares: A month ago she tripped while playing with her dog and hurt her knee. She saw the doc for her knee injury and the doc noticed a cough she had. Her daughter had laryngitis at the time so she wanted to brush it off as sickness. The doc insisted on doing various tests and eventually did a biopsy that found extremely aggressive thyroid cancer. She had surgery that was successful in removing all of the infected thyroid. 2 weeks later they did a scan and found that it had rapidly spread to her spine and hip bones. She is starting chemo this week. Not that anyone wants to hear a sob story here but it just shows that even if something small is going on, get your family members checked.

God bless
