Will Eating Right Help In Chemotherapy?
My friend has cancer and she is not eating right. She has had radiation and now she is getting ready to do chemo. Can eating right help? She is going to need plenty of energy. I ll just ask my Dr. For free thanks but no thanks. It s a price for everything even a question about someone s life. Sorry didn t mean to inquire.

Hi. Eating a healthy diet definitely help patients. it keeps body energetic and boost immunity which is otherwise compromised due to effects of chemotherapy. Patients most of the time do not feel like eating or have nausea or vomiting. Patient should be encouraged to take small but frequent meals containing nutritious foods.Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
