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.
