Nutritional Support

Proper nutrition is important for all children, but especially so for children being treated for cancer. This is because many factors related to the illness itself, as well as its treatments, may affect a child's appetite, tolerance to foods and the body's ability to use nutrients. The nutritional needs of an individual in treatment vary from child to child. The doctor, nurse, or dietitian will work with you to determine specific nutritional goals and an approach to feeding which meets the special needs of your child. Click here for more details.
