NEW CD!! Management of Eating Problems during Cancer Therapy

Top 3 reasons Cancer Patients Lose Weight:

  1. Not hungry?
  2. Food Doesn't Taste Right?
  3. Get Full Quickly?

Weight loss in cancer, what does it mean?

An unplanned weight loss of 5% predicts a worse prognosis for a cancer patient, meaning there is less chance they will overcome their disease.

Patients with weight loss received less treatment, due to lower doses based on that weight, and more side effects from treatment leading to breaks in their treatment course. The bottom line was that patients with weight loss had:

  • A decreased response to their treatment
  • Shorter survival
  • Lower quality of life and performance status.

Their rapid weight loss results in:

  • Loss of muscle and strength
  • Slower wound healing and repair of tissue damage from chemotherapy and radiation
  • Poor immune function

 

Listen to this 70 minute CD to learn ways to work around the eating problems that lead to weight loss in cancer patients.

  • Lack of appetite
  • Taste changes
  • Feeling full with small volumes
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Constipation or diarrhea
  • Sores in the mouth or throat, difficulties swallowing
  • Fatigue and loss of energy

Practical, easy strategies will help you eat more, find the right medications to control your symptoms and have more energy to enjoy life. Helpful advice for caregivers can avoid control battles over eating.
