[MOL] Lung cancer help?



Hi,
I have a friend that just found out he has lung cancer topped with pneumonia. I don't know if it is small cell or not, as I am reading all these articles.
 
I do know that he is starting chemotherapy tomorrow and I wanted to get foods and items that may come in helpful for him while he is going through this treatment. I called a doctor this morning and started to put together a care package of items that might be useful.Such as alcohol free mouth wash, small containers of juices, instant mash potato etc.. I tried to find foods that don't require allot of chewing ( the doctor said chewing takes up energy) Also, because of the pneumonia to stay away from milks and thick foods.
Can any one here help give me some suggestions on care package items? I got some broth soups and instant cream of wheats, but I just think I have over looked items, because I don't know enough.
 
I would really appreciate any tips on good useful care package tips for someone going through chemotherapy.
 
Thank you in advance for your help.
