Cancer Got Your Appetite?
Try these simple tricks for getting the nutrition you need during cancer treatment.
Cancer comes with many side effects. Appetite loss is one of them – and a common one at that. In people with cancer, a loss of appetite can stem from the cancer itself; anxiety or depression due to the diagnosis and its treatment; and, of course, cancer treatment, particularly chemotherapy and radiation.

Anxiety, depression, and other mood disorders are common among cancer survivors, even among those who have never experienced these kinds of mental health issues before. People without strong social support systems have a higher risk of developing mood and anxiety disorders after being diagnosed with cancer.

Fortunately, there are professionals whose job it is to help guide survivors and caregivers through the cancer maze.
