Eating well during cancer treatment and recovery
Eating well can help support strength, energy, and recovery, but cancer and its treatment can affect appetite, taste, and digestion.
Supporting your nutrition
Good nutrition can help:
- Maintain strength and weight
- Support recovery
- Manage side effects
There is no single “cancer diet.” What works will vary from person to person.
When eating is difficult
Support may help if you are experiencing:
- Poor appetite
- Weight loss or weight gain
- Taste changes
- Nausea or digestive problems
Dietitians and healthcare teams can offer tailored advice and support. Read how to eat well during cancer treatment and recovery
Practical advice
