You need to have enough energy to get through the treatment as the body is not functioning as it is used to. The nutrients your body is taking in (during treatment) is a fraction of what it usually took in, before cancer. If you are eating five oranges you might get the nutrients from half an orange and that is why we encourage everyone to eat as much as they can.” – Melissa Mogor, Public Health Advisor at WCRF
