Who you will talk to

A DietXP nutrition expert with hospital cancer care experience

We match you with the team member best placed for the diagnosis, treatment stage and any feeding support. The same person runs your consultation, writes your plan and takes your follow-ups. Consultations are in English or Hindi, and in Tamil, Marathi or Malayalam with some of our nutrition experts.

DietXP’s nutrition experts trained in India and are not registered as dietitians or nutritionists in Canada. Before you book, we tell you who your nutrition expert is and their qualifications.

Cancer care in Canada

Cancer care and Indian food in Canada

Your cancer centre team leads your treatment and nutrition plan, and many regional cancer centres have dietitians. DietXP helps your family turn that plan into Indian meals at home.

Your cancer centre team

Ask your oncology team about seeing the centre’s dietitian if eating is hard or you are losing weight. Bring their advice to us and we will help you apply it to Indian cooking.

Free support in Canada

The Canadian Cancer Society’s Cancer Information Helpline, 1-888-939-3333, answers questions in English and French, with interpreters for other languages.

Indian food during treatment

Soft khichdi, dal, idli, curd rice and light soups often work well when appetite or taste changes. Indian groceries are easy to find in Brampton, Surrey and other cities.

Practical details

  • India is 9½ hours ahead of Toronto and 12½ hours ahead of Vancouver in summer, one hour more in winter.
  • Fees are in CAD and are the full amount you pay.
  • If you feel very unwell during treatment, call your cancer centre’s urgent line, or 9-1-1 in an emergency.

Indian meals, wherever you live

Start with the food you know

We work with the Indian foods your family knows and the ingredients available near you in Canada. Bring your hospital team's food advice and the everyday questions that are difficult to work through at home.

Follow your treating team's advice on food safety, textures and portions.

During and after treatment

Different stages, different food questions

You do not need to have everything worked out before you get in touch.

When you have just been diagnosed
There may be a lot of advice to take in. We can help you organise your food questions and understand the guidance your cancer-care team has given you.
Before treatment starts
Talk through your usual meals, who can help with cooking and the questions you want to ask your hospital dietitian.
During treatment
Tell us what has become difficult about shopping, cooking or eating. We discuss practical food questions within your team's advice. New or worsening symptoms should be reported to your treating team.
After treatment
Use your follow-up team's advice as the starting point. We can discuss familiar meals and everyday routines as you settle back into life at home.

Getting ready

What to have ready for the first consultation

You do not need to send reports before booking. We tell you how to share them before the consultation. If you are booking for a family member, please have their agreement first.

  • Your treatment plan and notes from your cancer centre
  • Recent reports, such as blood tests and discharge summaries
  • Current weight, and any weight change in the last few months
  • Medicines, supplements and any feeding plan from the hospital
  • What the patient manages to eat and drink on a usual day

For family and caregivers

Helping someone you care about

You may be cooking for a spouse, helping a parent from abroad, or sharing meals with someone in treatment. With their consent, you can join the discussion and help turn food advice into a manageable routine at home.

  • Bring a note of their usual meals and food preferences.
  • Write down questions they want to ask.
  • Work out who can help with shopping and cooking.
Fathimath Naeema Nasreen, DietXP’s psycho-oncologist

Emotional support

Support for how you feel, not only what you eat

Worry, low mood and fear of the cancer coming back are common, for the person with cancer and for the family caring for them. DietXP’s psycho-oncologist, Fathimath Naeema Nasreen, offers online emotional support sessions from India for adults with cancer and adult family caregivers: a space to talk, information and practical ways to cope.

Naeema is not registered with any Canadian regulator and is not a psychologist, psychotherapist or counselling therapist in Canada. Sessions are not psychotherapy or treatment of a mental health condition, and they do not replace care from your cancer centre or a registered professional in your province.

This is the full fee in CAD: no booking or service fees are added. Payment goes to DietXP in India, so your bank may add a cross-border fee. Before you book, we confirm the session times, the payment terms and that sessions can go ahead where you live. The fee follows where the person having the sessions lives: for a family member who lives in India, the India fee applies.

Sessions are confidential and separate from your nutrition program; only what you agree to share is passed on. This is not a crisis service. In Canada, the Canadian Cancer Society’s Cancer Information Helpline, 1-888-939-3333, is open Monday to Friday in English and French, with an interpreter for other languages, and your cancer centre can tell you about counselling where you are treated. If you are in crisis or thinking about suicide, call or text 9-8-8 at any time. In an emergency, call 9-1-1.
