Nutritional Palliative Care For Cancer

Choosing PALLIATIVE NUTRITIONAL CARE  does not mean that a patient has given up on getting well. It simply means that he or she, at this particular place on their journey with cancer, is more focused on a simplified plan for improving their quality of life by reducing discomfort, pain, improving energy and managing/preventing complications. 

When I counsel with a patient who is seeking nutritional palliative care we focus on goals such as allaying nausea, adding muscle mass and reducing weight loss, improving serum albumin and other important lab values, improving sleep quality and reducing pain, preventing/managing anemia & renal complications, managing or resolving chronic diarrhea, resolving constipation, improving extended gastric emptying time, managing jejunal syndrome, gastroparesis, blood glucose levels and impaired micronutrient absorption.
