Nutrition therapy is used to help cancer patients get the nutrients they need to keep up their body weight and strength, keep body tissue healthy, and fight infection. Eating habits that are good for cancer patients can be very different from the usual healthy eating guidelines. The CEFLS Library System and partners have compiled authoritative resources in accessible formats that can help patients and their families deal with the effects of cancer and its treatment. * All resources are available via the CEFLS web site (www.cefls.org) and public libraries in Clinton, Essex, Franklin counties.
We are building a collection of ebooks you can borrow from your library. Below is an example of one of our books on cancer and nutrition. Visit cefls.overdrive.com for more! We thank the following organizations for helping us to purchase ebooks for this collection:
