Chemo Care Program
Chemotherapy is the most common treatment choice for several cancers. It can impact food intake and taste, and cause constipation, diarrhea, oral ulcers and mouth sores, and fatigue. These side effects require optimum nutrition and support through a tailored diet during chemotherapy to prevent malnutrition and improve treatment outcomes. Following a structured chemotherapy diet can significantly enhance recovery and quality of life during the treatment phase.

Frequently Asked Questions
FAQs
How important is nutrition during chemo?
Most people diagnosed with cancer are undernourished or tend to become undernourished during chemotherapy. The right diet during chemotherapy can help a person feel better and reduce treatment-related side effects. Good chemotherapy diet practices before and during treatment can also help to improve treatment tolerance and overall disease outcome.
What foods should chemo patients avoid?
Any foods that are prepared in an unsafe and unhygienic environment should be avoided during chemotherapy. A well-monitored chemo patient diet helps avoid unnecessary risks.
Does drinking lots of water help with chemo?
Yes, drinking plenty of water is very important during chemotherapy because it helps to reduce side effects like nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation. Staying hydrated supports the overall chemotherapy diet strategy.
How do I get nutrition during chemo?
Eating a diet with the required ratio of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, along with essential vitamins and minerals, assures adequate nutrition during chemotherapy. To determine the nutritional needs of a person undergoing treatment, factors like present weight, weight loss percentage, appetite, treatment side effects, cultural preference, and blood reports have to be taken into consideration.
What foods help chemo work better?
Each person has a different threshold to chemotherapy and its side effect profile, and hence we encourage a personalized diet during chemotherapy recommendations for everyone. But, overall, fresh home-cooked food, protein-rich foods, fruits and vegetables, and plenty of fluids work well as part of a successful chemotherapy diet.
