When an oncologist dismissed nutrition, Jennifer found a specialist who made it central to her recovery. Based on guidance from oncology nutrition specialist Natalie Ledesma, RD, this chapter covers anti-inflammatory foods, what to avoid (processed foods, sugar, red meat), pre- and post-surgery nutrition, supplements for wound healing, and foods that fight fatigue and "chemo brain." From JUST DIAGNOSED: A Survivor's Guide to Navigating Cancer by Jennifer Omholt — journalist and 24-year stage 3 breast cancer survivor. Foreword by Debu Tripathy, MD (MD Anderson Cancer Center).
