Many people think malnutrition simply means not getting enough food, but it can affect anyone, especially those undergoing cancer treatment. Changes in appetite, taste, digestion, and the ability to eat can make it difficult for patients to get the nutrition they need. "Cancer treatment can make eating feel overwhelming, but nutrition is a critical part of recovery and survivorship. I'm grateful to support patients throughout their treatment journey so they don't have to face those challenges alone," says Lindsey Hatfield, MS, RD, Clinical Dietitian. As Malnutrition Awareness Week approaches, remember that unintended weight loss, poor appetite, and difficulty eating are not just expected side effects of cancer treatment. Early nutrition support can help patients stay stronger, better tolerate treatment, and improve quality of life. #MalnutritionAwarenessWeek #CancerCare #RuralHealthCare #ASPEN ... See MoreSee Less
