Guide to Good Nutrition

Good nutrition is especially important while you are receiving cancer treatment. During treatment, adequate intake of calories, protein, vitamins and minerals will help you to be strong, maintain your weight, and promote the healing process.

Before and after your treatment, a healthy diet based on moderation, variety and balance will help to promote a good immune system, give you energy, and enhance your overall health.

Group seminars are available on a variety of topics including eating during cancer treatment, healthy eating and cancer-related fatigue.
