ABOUT NATALIE
"People may not remember what you did, or what you said, but they will always remember how you made them feel." Maya Angelou
I am a student and by no means an expert on cancer care. My message regarding eating for recovery is strictly based on my experiences as a volunteer and cancer patient advocate. As a young girl, many adults I was close with were facing chemotherapy treatment to fight cancer. Through participation in science fairs, I felt that I could contribute in helping these adults fight their cancer battle. I have shared my papers with many and almost all have commented, “I wish my doctor would have shared this dietary information with me.” I felt a website would be the best way for me to share my discoveries with anyone interested in battling chemotherapy induced nausea.
