Hi! Does your mother have lung cancer or a benign tumor in the lung? If lung cancer is being treated at the Oncology specialist, right? The doctor would like to answer the question of whether lung tumor patients should eat apples or oranges as follows. Apples or oranges are both easy-to-digest and nutritious foods for patients with lung tumors. My mother does not diet too much to maintain her weight. In addition, you should consult the doctor who is treating your mother with lung cancer what to eat and what not to eat.
