Foods may taste different or seem unappetizing, your mouth may be dry or have sores, or you may be trying to take off weight gained during treatment.

Regardless of the situation, nutrition recommendations remain the same for cancer survivors: maintain a healthy weight, get essential nutrients, and practice food safety.
