diet can help to rebuild your body's cells, especially if you are
receiving chemotherapy or radiation treatment.To help guide you,
nutrition counseling is available by a registered dietitian for

training in helping cancer patients and their families to make
healthful food choices. Common counseling sessions include topics
such as:
- appetite changes
- unintentional weight loss
- healthy eating
- side effects from treatment or
- instituting a therapeutic diet.
A nutrition consult can be requested via your nurse or physician
or by calling the nutritionist at (973) 322-7007.
