Expert Nutrition Counseling
Maintaining a healthy diet is especially important for a person with cancer. The food you eat can slow cancer’s progression, improve your response to treatment, and help prevent the return of cancer after treatment. A nutritionist who specializes in the dietary needs of cancer patients can help you eat better and feel better.
