Nutritional Support

WOULD YOU LIKE TO

SPEAK WITH A NUTRITIONIST?

Our Nutritional Support program provides our cancer community support during and after treatment to help prevent or resolve nutritional deficiencies, achieve and maintain a healthy weight, preserve body mass and minimize nutrition related side effects. These are all crucial aspects to successfully completing treatment.

Free nutritional counseling is rare in the outpatient world but the benefits are significant. For people suffering from side effects of radiation therapy or chemotherapy, it can make all the difference in the world between tolerating therapy and giving up. And this service is FREE!!

If you are having trouble with:

• Weight Loss
• Changes in Taste/Appetite
• Fatigue affecting your ability to shop for groceries or to eat
• Dry Mouth/Mouth Sores
• Constipation
• Nausea/Vomiting/Diarrhea
• Eating healthfully (optimal diet) during & after cancer treatment
• Caregiver Support - what foods to prepare or provide for your loved one with cancer
