Because everyone is different, there is no way to know if you will have problems with eating and, if so, how bad they will be. You may have just a few issues or none at all -- it all depends on the type of cancer you have, where it is in your body, what kind of treatment you have, and how long treatment lasts. During treatment, there are many helpful medicines and other ways to manage eating problems. This is why it's critical that you reach out to your doctor, nurse or dietician if you are having any issues. They can also help set expectations for which side effects you may feel and ways to manage them.
