Cancer Survivor's Nutrition & Health Guide

Eating Well and Getting Better During and After Cancer Treatment

Gene A Spiller
Bonnie Bruce, DR.P.H., R.D.


Cancer Survivors share a common goal—prevent recurrence! They also share a lack of appetite. But wise eating during treatment and recovery could play a vital role in staying well. Because there's no time for experimenting during such critical times, guidance and recipes are greatly needed for both cancer survivors and those helping survivors.

In their new book, Cancer Survivor's Nutrition & Health Guide nutritionist Gene Spiller and public health nurse Bonnie Bruce introduce a program of eating that provides ample nourishment and enjoyment , and in addition, cancer patients will learn to eat to restore energy, rebuild their bodies, and protect against future cancer.

Based on scientific research and informatiaon from cancer survivors about what worked for them, Cancer Survivor's Nutrition & Health Guide eases the mind and the stomach by providing:

  • Tips for overcoming aftereffects of treatments such as nausea or lack of appetite
  • Advice on how to eat when too tired to prepare something
  • Guidance on what foods to eat for difficulty of swallowing, a dry mouth, diarrhea or constipation
  • Wisdom from our ancestors regarding the protective components of herbs and spices
  • Customized recipes for maximizing recovery and protecting against future illness
