Hi. It's so great that you are supporting your mom through this journey. I'm also trying to be there for my dad. I think juicing and a vegetarian diet could be beneficial only if your mom can tolerate it. During chemo eating is tough, so she should really eat whatever appeals to her. My mom juices for my dad, but only once he is ready for it. My dad sees a naturopath who does recommend juicing and staying away from red meat, but only when it's possible. It's more to help him feel good so that he can get through his chemo treatments and less about juicing stopping the cancer from progressing. However, having said that, why not throw everything at it that your mom is willing to? As long as her oncologist is ok with it, I don't think there is any harm.
