Two Great Recipes

In addition to helping you stay well, these five superfoods can all be good choices for cancer patients who have unique nutritional needs. During treatment a person’s appetite may change daily based on the type of therapy they are receiving.

Although nutrition is critical to getting well from cancer, eating is often one of the hardest things cancer patients have to face due to treatment side effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, mouth sores, swallowing problems, and unexpected weight loss.

A new cookbook from the American Cancer Society, What to Eat During Cancer Treatment, provides cancer patients and caregivers with recipes and useful, comforting advice about cancer nutrition.

What’s more, the recipes not only meet the needs of a person undergoing treatment, but are also perfect for the entire family, delicious, and easy to prepare.
