Nutrition Guidance for Patients with Cancer
People with a cancer diagnosis often have unique nutrition needs. Cancer treatment can lead to changes in appetite, taste or weight, and certain supplements may interfere with treatment. Good nutrition plays an important role in supporting strength, healing and overall well-being during and after cancer care.
At Exeter Hospital, our registered dietitian provides personalized nutrition counseling designed to support patients throughout their cancer journey. Nutrition recommendations are tailored to your diagnosis, treatment plan and individual goals.
How Nutrition Counseling Can Help
Our dietitian works closely with patients to address common nutrition concerns related to cancer and its treatment. Services include:
- Managing treatment-related side effects that affect eating and digestion
- Supporting healthy weight maintenance or weight changes
- Balancing calories, protein and key nutrients to support energy and recovery
- Reviewing supplements and dietary questions to ensure they are safe and appropriate
- Providing practical meal planning strategies that fit your lifestyle and preferences
Nutrition counseling may be helpful during active treatment as well as during recovery and survivorship.
