A free American Cancer Society service

• Board certified oncology dietitians provide telephone nutritional counseling to cancer patients or survivors before, during or after treatment

• Assistance is individualized to each situation

• Verbal suggestions are discussed, written materials are sent and follow-up care is provided as needed

• Nutrition strategies are given to caregivers to help their loved ones deal with treatment side effect

• Typical nutrition concerns include management of side-effects, ways to maintain weight, economic alternatives to expensive commercial nutritional drinks, assistance with weight loss after treatment is finished, questions around diet, nutrition or CAM topics, etc.

• Good nutritional status during cancer treatment improves the likelihood that full treatment protocols will be completed as prescribed. After treatment, nutrition counseling to improve nutrition and achieve a healthier weight may reduce risk of cancer recurrence.
