Helping your child to eat well during cancer treatment

A practical information guide for parents and families of a child or young person with cancer. Most children with cancer will experience problems with eating and drinking at some stage. This can be due to the cancer itself, treatment or medication.

Sometimes food can taste strange, can be difficult to swallow or digest and often children just don’t feel hungry. If a child is taking steroids as part of their treatment, then the opposite is true and they can feel hungry all of the time.

These problems can be short term or may last throughout treatment. Written by expert dietitians, this booklet gives practical ideas on how to help your child to eat well during cancer treatment.
