 Love it! March 15, 2010

I have enjoyed testing quite a few of the recipes in this cook book. They are easy to make, with ingredients I usually have on hand. The recommendations are very helpful and seem to work.

In the Fall of 2009, two of my immediate family members were diagnosed with different forms of cancer within three months of each other. One has lung cancer. One has stomach cancer (which had been mis-diagnosed as IBS by two independent physicians over the course of a year). As both began chemo treatments and suffered the seemingly inevitable problems that go along with it, I just happened across this book and am so thankful that I did.
This book is full of helpful information that no oncologist or other medical provider has shared with my family. In addition to the general info, the recipes are simple and are divided up in useful categories to suit what may be going on at any particular point in time: what to eat on chemo day, what to eat when your white blood cell count is low, what to eat when you're constipated. The categories go on and on and in the words of my family member who has stomach cancer, she wishes "someone had told us about this book months ago. It's been a real life-saver."
I don't advocate adopting any new nutrition plans without consulting with a physician. If you have a friend or family member who has cancer, however, I do advocate getting this book for them. Even if it just gives them ideas on what to eat at any given time (or gives them something positive to focus on to try on a day when they fell like crud) it will have been money very well spent.

I recently had surgery for breast cancer. I saw this book and ordered it! Man, what a great book. The recipes are easy and are targets for symptoms related to chemo. It uses lots of veggies, whole grains, and fruits. I am so thankful I found it. My daughter is going to cook several recipes up and have them ready when I need them during my chemotherapy.
Very Helpful! August 30, 2009

I bought the book for my parents when my father was diagnosed with cancer. My mother has been using it for awhile now, and loves it. She said it really came in handy the first couple of weeks of chemotherapy treatment, when she had to adapt her cooking to my father's changing tastes and reactions. The set-up of the book and the detailed tables are helpful & informative.
 The title tells it all. July 15, 2009

I received the cookbook "Eating Well Through Cancer" several weeks ago and have the opportunity to try more then four recipes since then. I found the recipe easy to follow, and the information given for each one is particularly good for me as I am also a diabetic. Would recommend this cookbook to anyone who want to be sure they are are eating properly even though they have cancer.
