Should sugar be eliminated from diet in a cancer patient?

During treatment, I was told I needed 125 grams of protein and 2500 calories daily to counteract the stress on my body. During that time and the month after treatment, I followed the dieticians advice, not to worry about my diet and to not consume anything if it didn't support the protein and calorie goals. It was just a few months and it made sense to be at the time, and still makes sense to me.
After that, I returned to a healthier diet as my ability to swallow increased.

Same for my family member. She needed to increase the protein intake significantly during treatment but later to return to a healthy diet and lifestyle, with more of a plant based focus in eating. She had great stamina during treatment and could even exercise and walk distances. It made a great difference to eat more protein then. Now she is trying to incorporate 5 to 10 servings of vegetables each day, and has had minimal lasting side effects. Exercise was an important component for her during and after treatment.
