Nutrition services for cancer patients
Chemotherapy or radiation may interfere with your appetite; even change your sense of taste. Maintaining a healthy diet is important, but sometimes hard to achieve when facing cancer. That's why we offer nutritional services to guide you through this time.
Medical nutrition therapy (MNT) is an essential part of your care plan and is offered to every patient receiving cancer care at The Christ Hospital. We have a Registered Dietitian who is available to meet with you to establish an individualized diet plan and manage issues that can come along with cancer treatment such as weight loss, digestion problems, or taste alterations. Ask your Physician or Registered Nurse if you are interested in meeting with our Dietitian.
Optimizing Nutrition
Discussions with an oncology dietitian about optimizing your nutrition during cancer treatment will include topics on symptom management, vitamin and mineral supplements, and other nutrition-related concerns. This offering is now available on-demand anytime by watching the video below.
