Why We Wrote Eating Well Through Cancer Cookbook for Cancer Patients

A cookbook for cancer patients designed to help better tolerate treatment and also healthy recipes for survivors. The cookbook includes simple 30-minute recipes and these recipes were evaluated with regard to their nutritional value.  I also valued taste, simplicity, availability of ingredients and preparation time. Still, today, this book is one of the only books written for people going through treatment. This cookbook has a focuses on recipes for cancer patients but recipes that everyone in the family can eat. Fatigue can also be an issue and I have food to keep up your strength while going through treatment. Most importantly, you will find healthy recipes for cancer survivors as well as for patients going through treatment.

My Dad Was Diagnosed with Cancer So A Cancer Cookbook Became Very Personal To Me

My father was diagnosed with cancer so I personally experienced what a cookbook for cancer patients needed to include.   I also better understood the importance of food and appetite during treatment. I tested many recipes on him.  He had larynx cancer so Sore Mouth Chapter included healthy recipes for needed most during treatment. Oncologist Gerald Miletello, MD felt the need for this cookbook for years because his patients asked him frequently, “What should I eat?” Therefore, we created this cancer cookbook.  This is a cookbook for the entire family will enjoy  recipes in a Day of Chemo Chapter like Simple Baked Chicken.

Eating Well Through Cancer Cookbook With Recipes for Cancer Patients with  Diabetes and Dietary Needs

The updated book includes nutritional analysis and diabetic exchanges and also includes other dietary information. The “D” indicates diabetic-friendly recipe.  I know it is important to include recipes for cancer patients with diabetes.  I use another symbol highlights gluten-free recipes.  There is no magical diabetes diet, however, a diabetic diet guides you with the healthiest way to eat!  Many times people like to freeze food or have vegetarian preferences and Eating Well Through Cancer cookbook also highlights these options. The Terrific Tips provide great reference information and the Nutritional Nuggets and Doc’s Note prove to be another valuable resource. This helps the patient eat the best foods for nourishment while going through cancer treatment and includes healthy recipes for cancer survivors.

“Nutrition is important in prevention and sustaining a healthy lifestyle,” says Clegg. Featured in Cure Magazine, Coping with Cancer Magazine, Los Angeles Times Syndicate and newspapers nationwide.

For years I have helped and guided people through cancer with my cancer cookbook.  As of August 8, 2018 I was diagnosed with stomach cancer and I have turned to my own cookbook for cancer patients.  I have been a caregiver but never a patient.  I decided to share my cancer journey with you how I plan to fight gastric cancer.

This incredible mainstream cancer cookbook includes nutritional analysis and diabetic exchanges.  I appeared on The 700 Club on November 10th and Living The Life, ABC Family Channel with recipes for cancer survivors as well as cancer patients.
