Cancer and its treatment can affect how you eat in different ways. You may loose your appetite or find that some food tastes different.
This section will contain information on dealing with a range of different eating problems that you might experience, such as taste changes - more information will be added over the next few months.
If you want to find out more about specific eating problems or having a healthy diet while you have cancer, the Macmillan Cancer Support website has a section on eating well.

My advice is to eat whatever you feel like eating and often. Don’t feel pressurised to eat and worried that if you don’t you will lose weight, there are many options available to prevent this. Also don’t refuse hospital food, There must be something on the menu you like, ask the nurses if there are other foods available, You can bring in your own favourite snacks and drinks to eat whenever. Remember to eat healthy, calorie filled foods, cheese is very good.
