Nutrition: Eating Well Through Cancer by vanessa chalme, r.d.

1/5/2010

Adopting a healthy lifestyle along with good nutrition is an important measure for every individual but especially for people being treated for cancer. Many factors related to the cancer itself and the treatment may affect appetite, the body’s ability to tolerate certain foods and to use nutrients. It is hard to tell how cancer will impact someone’s nutritional status as it varies from individual to individual. Good nutrition can help someone feel better, maintain body weight so they can receive treatment, tolerate treatment-realted side effects and help them recover as quickly as possible. At the Morris I. Franco Community Cancer Center, we offer nutritional counseling for our clients by Registered Dieticians going through treatment and post treatment.
