Diet plan for stage 4 stomach cancer

My family member has recently been diagnosed with Stage 4 stomach cancer. She has already undergone stomach surgery, during which the cancer was detected. We are currently looking for guidance on her nutrition and overall diet. Could anyone recommend: A good oncology dietitian (preferably someone who provides online consultations)? What kind of diet is generally recommended for a Stage 4 stomach cancer patient after stomach surgery? Are there any foods that should be avoided or any nutritional supplements that are commonly advised? If there are any experienced oncologists or cancer nutrition specialists who provide consultations, I would also appreciate their recommendations. Thank you.
