Traditional methods of treating cancer can make it difficult to get enough nutrients. We will teach you strategies for decreasing common side effects like nausea, poor appetite, fatigue, dry mouth, and difficulty swallowing. By keeping your body fueled with nutrients during treatment, you can help fight off infection and heal more quickly.

Come prepared to cook! Participants will make several cancer-starving recipes. At the end of each class, we will gather around the table and enjoy eating the fruits of our labor while having an opportunity to ask questions of the instructors.
