giving up sugars isn't going to make a difference for cancer. Every carb you eat eventually gets converted to sugars anyway. Instead, it's more important to finish treatment in the hopes that all cancer cells are eradicated. If one cancer cell survives, it can eventually grow and spread again. I would suggest their dad only listen to medical providers on what to do and follow their recommendations.

If your dad wants some great info - the book 'Cancer Free - Are You Sure' by Jenny Hrbacek R.N. - it explains so much that is not explained during treatment and has lists of AMAZING resources (like a lab in Greece that will not only detect a recurrence way before tumors are large enough to show on a scan but will also tell you which chemo will work best and which natural substances will work.

Most carbs get converted to glucose, true. But the rate of absorption and impact on insuline response, is still different among other things.
Unfortunately, it's not common for medical providers to give nutirtion advice in many cases as it's not how they are trained. Unless something is establiashed after decades of research and finds its way into their textbooks and guidelines, they prefer to do nothing about it (professional liability and all).
The American Institute for Cancer Research and the American Cancer Society recommend that you:
Choose high-fiber carbohydrates that don't spike blood sugar like whole fruits, beans, lentils, vegetables, whole grains and fresh herbs.
Avoid quickly digested carbohydrates that raise blood sugar fast including soda, juice, candy and desserts.

Just a myth...no direct link between sugar and cancer.

Can't compare carbs in orange to carbs in chocolate.
Cancer cells feed on sugar
Avoid all processed foods also
Wishing good health to your dad

Actual MD here (whether you believe or not). Absolutely minimize your sugar intake as uncontrolled diabetes will make you relatively more immunocompromised, which is already in the case of cancer. However, also enjoy life for you're celebrating something miraculous. And I would definitely not fear monger from a book written by an RN that suggests alternative medicine to treat cancer.
