A nutritious diet can be an important tool for supporting your health and wellbeing with cancer and may help to improve your energy levels and reduce symptoms and side effects.

Each individual is unique with their own personal nutritional requirements, so we suggest you experiment with the guidelines and adapt them to suit your own tastes and needs.

These guidelines have been written for people affected by cancer or those wishing to reduce their risk of cancer. If you have special dietary needs or problems with eating, swallowing or digestion, or with weight loss, you should seek further advice from a nutritionally-qualified health professional, who has experience of working with people affected by cancer.

We recommend attending one of our welcome sessions to learn more about the different services we offer at Penny Brohn UK, and how we can support you to eat well with cancer.

These guidelines are also available as a PDF if preferred.
