the most powerful symptoms of cancer and the side effects of
treatment, allowing the patient to better fight the disease. Now,
Cancer Nutrition & Recipes For Dummies is your trusted,
informative guide to fighting cancer from the inside out.

Designed for cancer patients and their families, Cancer
Nutrition & Recipes For Dummies focuses on foods best
tolerated during–and that can ease side effects
of–cancer treatment. It also offers advice for menu planning,
nutritional analysis, diabetic exchanges, and much more.
