  • Nutrition

    While no single food or nutrient is the cause or cure for cancer, nutrition plays an important role in all aspects of health. From the time of diagnosis until after treatment, balanced nutrition helps support the immune system, repair and build muscle, and provides a sense of control and empowerment as something positive we can do throughout treatment and survivorship.

  • Nutrition After Treatment

    Nutrition recommendations for cancer survivors include working towards or maintaining a healthy body weight and lifestyle through a whole food plant-based eating pattern and regular physical activity. A plant-based eating pattern emphasizes adding more plant foods on your plate such as whole grains, beans, legumes, fruits, and vegetables.

  • Nutrition During Cancer Treatment

Changes in taste and smell, mouth sores, dry mouth, low appetite, nausea, vomiting, constipation and diarrhea are some of the common side effects of cancer treatment.
