Living with cancer and going through treatment can make eating less appealing. Many people lose their appetite altogether and experience side-effects that can have a significant impact on their quality of life and ability to enjoy food.
Our expert dietitians can help you tackle issues such as:
Taste changes and appetite loss
Nausea and constipation
Weight loss, and how to maintain a healthy weight during treatment
Evidence on nutrition and cancer, including myth-busting stories from the press and social media
Interactions between food and medications
Maintaining a healthy diet and making food as appealing as possible
Accessing further evidence-based information
At World Cancer Research Fund, we believe everyone who has been diagnosed with cancer should have access to the most reliable and up-to-date information about cancer and nutrition.
