How about a tuna casserole? Classic white sauce (or even cream of
celery soup) tuna, vegetables, noodles. Easy on the tummy, comforting,
soothing. When I went through chemo, carbs were very digestible and
easy to eat. Macaroni and cheese might be a good choice too. Add some
peas for extra nutrition.

Another good thing: maybe pick up some chicken pieces (or a whole
chicken) and roast simply with salt, pepper and lemon. A side of rice
pilaf (even if it's just a couple boxes of rice-a-roni) would go
nicely and again, the family can reheat as needed.

If she's going through chemo, she needs to eat plenty of protein and
iron. (helps the body replace red cells) Quiche was a great idea!

You're very kind to do this. Bland, simple foods are the best options
b/c you just never know from day to day how you're going to feel.
