Do you mean lung cancer?
You didn't give us much to go on, janita Is it chemo that takes away her appetite? Because if she is nauseous from it she can speak to the nurses about adding anti-nausea meds to her chemo.
The only non-drug I know of that can help stimulate appetite is ginger, but you should talk to the doctor before you use it - it also acts as a blood-thinner.
Best to you and your mom,
