32 After treatment Most eating-related side effects of cancer treatments go away after treatment ends. Sometimes side effects like poor appetite, dry mouth, change in taste or smell, trouble swallowing, or weight changes last for some time. If this happens to you, talk to your cancer care team and work out a plan to deal with the problem. Tips for healthy eating after cancer • Check with your cancer care team for any food or diet restrictions. • Ask your dietitian to help you create a nutritious, balanced eating plan that can help you deal with any weight changes you might have experienced during cancer treatment. • Follow a healthy eating pattern that includes foods high in nutrients, a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables, and whole grains. • Limit or avoid red and processed meats, sugary drinks, and highly processed foods. • It is best not to drink alcohol. If you do drink, women should have no more than 1 drink a day; men should have only 2.
