Eat Well
Eat Well
A healthy and balanced diet is important to all of us, no more so than throughout your cancer journey, treatment, and recovery. By eating well you can provide your body with the tools it needs to help build strength, maintain energy, build immunity, and help prevent infections.

You may find throughout your cancer journey your appetite is affected, foods smell and taste different because of treatments, you experience weight loss or weight gain or just generally your food preferences change.
