The holiday season is all about celebrating and eating with family and friends. If you are in cancer treatment, you may not have the same appetite you usually do.
Below are some resources that may help you get through common eating issues you may experience during cancer treatment so you can enjoy the holiday season. Visit the Princess Margaret
Patient & Family Library to take a look at these resources or to find other health information you need.
