Thoughts for the caregiver/cook during cancer treatment

Cooking for someone going through chemotherapy

Here are some final thoughts for the caregiver or cook for a cancer patient.

• Tastes change daily. Favorite foods may be rejected one day or a disliked food may be desired the next.
• Encourage and assist the patient to eat whatever is desired.
• Try not to push food when nothing is wanted.
• Don’t make mealtime a chore for either the patient or the caregiver.
• Do not take rejection of a favorite food personally.
