Diet and Nutrition
It is essential to tell your cancer doctor, GP, key worker or Dietitian whether you are following a certain diet to enable them to help you understand and discuss any potential side effects.
Some of these diets can have a detrimental impact on your health and wellbeing. For example:
Drug interactions: The diet may interact with your cancer treatment or regular medications.
Nutritional deficiencies: The diet may be unbalanced and cause nutritional deficiencies.
Weight/muscle loss: The diet may result in unintentional weight loss and loss of muscle mass.
