Helping a Loved One With Cancer Eat Better During Treatment and Adjusting to Life and Nutrition After Treatment
By
Abby C. Sauer, MPH, RD
Supportive Care
TON May 2015 Vol 8 No 3
When a loved one is going through treatment for cancer, the caregiver’s roles may be many and varied, from helping to get a second opinion and deciding about treatment, to talking with visitors, or trying to keep up the loved one’s spirits. Grocery shopping, making favorite meals, and taking the patient out to dinner at a favorite restaurant are probably on this list as well. However, during cancer treatment, the patient might not always feel like eating and might not want to eat the same foods he or she used to enjoy. For example, one day the patient may eat with gusto but the next, a favorite food may taste unappealing. The caregiver should not take this personally, as this is all a normal part of the process and how cancer treatment can impact a patient’s appetites and eating habits.

Help Improve Quality of Life for Oncology Patients: Changing From Reactive Nutrition Support to Proactive Nutrition Intervention in Clinical Practice
By
Tiffany DeWitt, MS, MBA, RD, LD
Supportive Care
TON - November/December 2014 Vol 7 No 6
The diagnosis of cancer and the following treatment both have a profound impact on all aspects of a patient’s life. Quality of life is impacted in many aspects, including physical functioning, psychological well-being, and social life. Even at diagnosis, up to 50% of cancer patients present with some nutritional deficit that may be impacting physical functioning. Most of the anticancer treatments (ie, surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation) will jeopardize food intake and therefore nutrition status at some point during treatment. This disruption contributes further to declining quality of life throughout care and into survivorship.
