Cancer Care
Nutritional Counseling

The services of a registered dietitian are available to all St. Luke's MSTI patients. These services allow us to monitor your nutritional status and address specific eating problems that may arise. The dietitian will tailor a meal plan specific to your needs and help you sort through and understand the nutritional information.

Common concerns include:

• Weight gain
• Weight loss
• Nausea
• Taste changes
• Chewing and swallowing problems
• Constipation
• Diarrhea
• Whether or not to use herbal, vitamin, and mineral supplements

If you have questions or concerns about nutrition during or after treatment, ask any of your care providers or your patient representative to schedule an appointment for you with the registered dietitian.
