"The Cancer Wellness Cookbook is a helpful resource for patients
and their caregivers. More than a cookbook, it gathers information
about biological interactions that been shown to affect cancer
cells, and how certain foods may increase the body’s ability to
fight disease and handle side effects from treatment. The recipes
are designed to help encourage cancer patients to eat, with
intriguing tastes and textures that can keep patients interested in
food. The healthy focus is good for the entire family, and is a
great direction for the after cancer lifestyle."

current, concise, and informative. The tips to help minimize acute
problems are relevant and the basic principles of healthy eating

Lifeline, the authors and many collaborators for creating a book
that not only will help patients and families, but will serve as an
excellent primer for healthcare professionals."
