Nutritional Balance

Eating the right kinds of food before, during and after your cancer treatment can help you feel better and stay stronger. A healthy diet in very important for:

  • Maintaining a healthy weight

  • Supplying the body with fuel and nutrients for repair and healing

  • Preventing recurrence of the cancer or development of a new tumor

A dietitian, specially trained to help cancer patients maintain nutritional balance, is available through the cancer wellness program. Your dietitian meets with you for a private consultation to develop an individualized nutrition plan. Our dietitian can also help you research information on dietary supplements so you can discuss using them with your doctor.
