Good nutrition is a very important part of caring for your overall health during and after cancer treatment. Some cancer therapies can affect the heart, and the foods you eat can help support heart strength, manage side effects, and improve energy and recovery. In this informative presentation, we will explore how healthy eating habits can affect cardiovascular health and overall health in one’s cancer journey. Light refreshments will be provided.
