Ovarian cancer patients can consume honey. Honey contains a large amount of sugar, which can enhance the body's immunity and also help relieve constipation. Patients should eat more high-calorie, high-protein foods, such as milk, eggs, lean meat, beef, rabbit meat, fish, and legumes. After chemotherapy for ovarian cancer, it is best to have a meal at 6 a.m. and 7 p.m., which may help reduce side effects on the body.
