- Bring a note of their usual meals and food preferences.
- Write down questions they want to ask.

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 one-to-one counselling for adults with cancer and adult family caregivers, including Indian families living abroad. Each country page shows the session fee in local currency, and before you book we confirm that sessions can go ahead where you live. We do not currently offer sessions to people living in the UAE, Kuwait, Malaysia, Germany or the UK.
Sessions are confidential and separate from your nutrition programme; only what you agree to share is passed on. This is not a crisis service. Your cancer team can tell you about counselling where you are treated. In an emergency, call your local emergency number.
Another country?
Can't find where you live?
Tell us which country you are in. We'll let you know whether we can help before discussing an appointment.

No. DietXP provides online nutrition education and practical food support. Your local team continues to manage cancer treatment, medical nutrition therapy, medicines and feeding prescriptions.
