Important note
As mentioned later in this book, nutritional needs may change among patients. Check with your dietitian, nurse, or doctor if the recipes included here are safe for you.
Consuming a variety of foods is essential to get the nutrients needed during cancer treatment; this includes a combination of animal- and plant-based protein sources. Registered dietitians are healthcare professionals who can help assess your unique needs and design targeted strategies to guide nutrition care during your journey in receiving cancer treatment.
