Nutrition and Cancer

Supporting you through difficult times

A cancer diagnosis changes everything


Being diagnosed with cancer may be deeply shocking news with treatment often starting very immediately and each may come with side effects. Every patient and the therapy received are unique and individual so it is not to say you will have all or perhaps even any of these side effects.

Cancer

 

All kinds of therapy like surgery, chemotherapy, immunotherapy or radiation affect you and your nutritional status as they interfere with the body's ability to digest, absorb or properly metabolize nutrients from food. When your body does not get enough essential nutrients and energy, malnutrition occurs. 

 

It is exactly when we are in this situation, that we need to find out everything about our health status so that we understand vital information properly. A diet suited to your specific needs, which forms a sound basis for the impending cancer treatments, is one of these aspects.
