Managing eating-related side effects

Cancer treatments can damage some healthy cells along with cancer cells. This is why many people experience side effects that make it hard to eat well. Pain medications and the cancer itself can also cause eating-related side effects.

Side effects can vary from day to day and from person to person. Eating-related side effects should fade away after treatment ends. In the meantime, it’s important to do what you can to manage side effects during treatment and recovery.
