Recommended Diets

Maintaining good nutrition during radiation therapy is important to your overall well-being.  You will want to consume an adequate number of calories to maintain your current weight.  Depending upon the location of your radiation treatments, you may have different needs regarding your meal plans.   Attempt to choose foods that provide maximum nutritional value whenever possible. Be sure to discuss any questions you may have with your physician or nurse.
