During chemotherapy for ovarian cancer, it is essential to maintain a diverse diet. Patients can consume more protein-rich foods such as eggs, walnuts, and milk. It is also advisable to eat fruits like grapes in moderation. Vegetables should be varied to ensure adequate intake of vitamins, helping to prevent malnutrition. If signs of malnutrition occur, patients may take symptom-specific medications under the guidance of a physician, ensuring appropriate treatment for their condition.
