Nutrition Counseling

Some patients may benefit from nutritional counseling during treatment and recovery.  Upon referral, the registered dietitian will assess patients and determine if supplemental nutrition is needed or develop a plan to relieve negative symptoms caused by chemo, radiation and/or surgery.  Proper diet can often help patients cope with appetite loss or taste changes, maintain healthy weight or overcome fatigue.

The dietitian is available to answer questions, provide educational materials, and guide you toward reliable resources.
