Show Notes
Nutrition is a crucial part of cancer care. Many patients and caregivers play an active role in managing their nutrition during and after treatment. In this episode, we discuss nutrition after a cancer diagnosis with Luz Chavez and Susanne Massarani, Registered Dietitians from The University of Chicago. Learn the basics of oncology nutrition and how a good diet can help combat treatment-related weight loss and side effects. Caregivers will also benefit from tips on how to care for their loved ones when they experience appetite changes or other gastrointestinal symptoms.
