Melanoma Nutrition

People with melanoma may not feel like eating, especially if they are uncomfortable or tired. Side effects of melanoma treatment may cause:
 
  • Poor appetite
  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Food to taste different.
 
Nevertheless, patients should try to eat well during cancer therapy. Good nutrition often helps people with cancer feel better and have more energy. The doctor, dietitian, or other healthcare provider can suggest ways to maintain a healthy diet.
