If you are going through treatment for cancer, there's a good chance you'll have eating problems at some point. Both radiation and chemotherapy can affect the cells in your mouth and digestive tract or make you so tired that eating feels like a lot of work. If you feel nauseous, smaller meals and eating easy-to-digest foods like pretzels, saltines and rice might help. Be sure to talk to your medical team about your nutrition questions and concerns. There are ways you can combat some other common eating challenges that come along with cancer treatment.
