Nutrition

Many women feel that it is difficult for them to eat well during their cancer treatment. Common side effects, such as nausea and vomiting can make eating almost impossible. Many people may lose their appetite during chemotherapy or radiotherapy. Feeling uncomfortable, bloated or tired can also affect their eating ability.

However, you should remember that good nutrition is always important. Eating well makes you feel better and gives you more energy. Getting enough protein and calories during the course of your treatment will prevent you from losing weight,  and help you to regain energy and rebuild normal tissues.
