| Resources
for Cancer Survivors |
| 1.
National Coalition for Cancer
Survivorship: Like almost all
living creatures, our bodies run on food
- the fuel that makes life possible. When
you have cancer, many things can occur
that make eating - this most basic activity
in our lives - less than enjoyable. At
times, eating normally may feel almost
impossible. Yet eat we must, and with
cancer, we must eat as nutritiously as
possible.
