NO APPETITE???



My Mom has had a very restrictive diet since she was diagnosed with cancer. There are so many things she can't have. Moreover, she's had a severe lack of appetite too. Cancer can be a crippling disease. The ironic thing is that she's a case manager at MD Anderson. It's arguably the best hospital to treat cancer patients in the country/world. She's helped countless people who have had cancer. Some have made it through and countless others haven't. She's counseled, cared and been there to guide them. My Mom's helped them go through the process of being treated, discharged or helping families make arrangements if they lose their battle with cancer.

Today she starts radiation therapy. When she can have visitors and needs company, I'll be right there. I was looking for sites that had recipes for cancer patients and survivors. I stumbled across this one:

http://thecancerfreekitchen.tripod.com/



I really like it because it is written and made by some that's had cancer. If you or someone you know is battling this disease, it's a great, user friendly site to use.

Livestrong!
