All methods of cancer treatment, whether radiation, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, or biotherapy, target fast-growing cancer cells. But the damage to healthy cells may produce unpleasant side effects that can cause problems eating. Cancer treatment becomes a “new norm” and eating needs to be adapted to ensure you stay nourished.

Nutrition:
This class benefits individuals who are newly diagnosed or undergoing treatment. The focus is on developing a healthy eating plan and strategy to deal with the side effects of treatment.
