Living with cancer and going through treatment can make eating less appealing. Many people lose their appetite altogether and experience side-effects that can have a significant impact on their quality of life and ability to enjoy food.

Oncology specialist dieticians can help you tackle issues such as:

  • Taste changes and appetite loss
  • Nausea and constipation
  • Weight loss, and how to maintain a healthy weight during treatment
  • Evidence on nutrition and cancer, including myth-busting stories from the press and social media
  • Interactions between food and medications
  • Maintaining a healthy diet and making food as appealing as possible
  • Accessing further evidence-based information

World Cancer Research Fund has launched a cancer and nutrition helpline where oncology specialist dieticians are available to answer your questions about diet and nutrition during your cancer journey.

The helpline is available on:

Tuesday 12–2pm, Wednesday 6–8pm and Thursday 6–8pm

Call: 0300 102 2523

FREE from all mobile phones and landlines.
