Food and cancer Q&A

By Jane Clarke

Cancer

‘Are there any foods I shouldn’t eat when having chemotherapy?’ ‘My dad only weighs 5st. How can I stimulate his appetite?’ I answer these questions and more in my fourth video for Macmillan Cancer Support. Do take a look and, if you have any queries of your own, post them in the comments and I’ll do my best to help.



I’m thrilled to have been asked by Macmillan Cancer Support to join their Ask an Expert panel, offering insight on nourishing solutions to help when you are living with cancer. As well as answering questions for members of the Macmillan community, I will be filming a series of videos on common issues around eating when you are being treated for cancer or you’re in recovery. This is an unpaid, voluntary role but one I’m honoured to accept because of the immensely valuable support that Macmillan gives to those affected by cancer.
