Brief Answer:
She can have the whey protein

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

Since your mother is a cancer patient she can have this protein as cancer patients have a tendency to lose weight.

If she is non-diabetic and not lactose intolerant then she can safely have the protein as it does not have much side effects.

Dr. Monish De
