Diet and Nutrition

Nutritional advice and support is an important part of the overall care of someone with cancer. The aim is to optimise nutrition and quality of life throughout treatment and after completing treatment.

This starts with an assessment of the person’s nutritional requirements and then advising on the appropriate nutritional support. The ongoing nutritional progress and changes need to be monitored and reviewed to ensure optimal nutrition.  

We also guide people towards adopting a healthy lifestyle and assist them to make informed choices about the confusing array of diets that are recommended for cancer patients. 

Our dietician and nutritionist, Jane Freeman, has many years experience helping people with cancer optimise their nutrition. She can advise you as to how to adjust your diet and nutrition to improve your stamina and strength, your weight, your energy levels, your mood and even your appearance.
