Apart from a poor appetite and loss of weight, some people with cancer have other difficulties with eating.
Some of these problems may be related to the cancer itself, while others may be temporary side effects of treatment.
In this section some of the possible difficulties are discussed and some suggestions are given to help you overcome them.
For answers, support or just a chat, call the Macmillan Support Line free (Monday to Friday, 9am-8pm)
If you have any questions about cancer, need support or just want someone to talk to, ask Macmillan.
