Nutrition questions during cancer treatment

Cancer treatment can change appetite, taste, swallowing, digestion and energy needs. General advice may conflict with the treating team’s instructions or may not reflect the food prepared at home.

This consultation reviews the adult patient’s nutrition needs and prepares a written plan within the service scope. It does not replace the oncologist, hospital dietitian or treating team.

Where are you right now?

Choose the stage closest to the adult patient’s current situation to review the relevant scope.

What the consultation can cover

The consultation focuses on the nutrition questions most relevant to the adult patient’s current treatment stage. It does not cover every item below in every appointment.

If treatment has not started

Before treatment begins

Nutrition risk is worth identifying early, while there is still time to act on it.

Where you are starting from

Current weight, intake, appetite and any nutrition risks that need attention before treatment starts.

Building strength beforehand

Food and fluid strategies that follow the pre-treatment goals and instructions supplied by the treating team.

Getting ready for surgery

Where you are at nutritional risk, what to focus on in the weeks before an operation, planned around your surgical team’s plan rather than separately from it.

If you are in treatment

During active treatment

Food and fluid support for nutrition-impact symptoms during treatment.

Eating through chemo and radiation

Practical food and fluid options based on current intake and the instructions from the treating team.

Nutrition-impact symptoms

Food and fluid strategies for symptoms that make eating difficult. New, severe or worsening symptoms require medical review.

Tube feeding at home

Help applying the feeding plan prescribed by the treating team, including day-to-day routines, records and questions to take back. Formula, route, rate, equipment and clinical changes remain with that team.

Nutrition-impact symptoms discussed

  • Nausea
  • Appetite loss
  • Mouth sores
  • Fatigue
  • Weight changes
  • Digestive issues
If treatment has finished

After treatment

Treatment ending is not the same as being back to normal.

Rebuilding after treatment

Food strategies that support intake and function after treatment, including appropriate discussion of weight changes with the treating team.

When care focuses on comfort

Nutrition when care is focused on comfort

This section explains the consultation boundary when the treating team is providing palliative or end-of-life care.

Palliative care nutrition

Food support follows comfort, preferences and the goals set with the palliative-care team. DietXP does not make clinical feeding decisions.

Difficult decisions about feeding

DietXP can discuss practical food routines at home. Decisions about clinically assisted nutrition and hydration stay with the patient, family and treating or palliative-care team.

For questions about this consultation, contact us on WhatsApp. Clinical questions and urgent concerns should go to the treating or palliative-care team.

How it works

  1. Consult

    15 to 30 minutes online with an oncology nutrition professional, depending on how complex your case is. Send your reports beforehand if you have them.

  2. Receive your plan

    A written diet plan based on the diagnosis, treatment stage, nutrition-impact symptoms, preferences, culture and budget, within the service scope.

  3. Talk it through

    A short call with the same nutrition professional to explain the plan and answer questions about using it.

One consultation, one written plan and one explanation call.

How you are matched

You are matched with the nutrition professional your case needs

Cancer nutrition needs differ by diagnosis, treatment stage and feeding method. An adult using a feeding tube after head and neck surgery and an adult rebuilding function after treatment need different experience. We review the situation and match it to the team member best placed to support it.

Matched to your case

Diagnosis, treatment stage, nutrition-impact symptoms and feeding support inform the proposed match.

Oncology, not general nutrition

The match is made from team members with documented hospital oncology and nutrition-support experience.

The same nutrition professional throughout

The person who consults with you is the person who writes your plan and the person who explains it on the call.

Hospital backgrounds across our clinical team include Tata Memorial Cancer Hospital (Mumbai), Kasturba Hospital at MAHE Manipal, CMCH Ludhiana and Jigme Dorji Wangchuk National Referral Hospital (Bhutan), spanning oncology, paediatric oncology, enteral and parenteral nutrition and medical nutrition therapy.

Questions people ask before booking

What exactly do I get for this fee?

The fee includes a 15- to 30-minute consultation with an oncology nutrition professional, a written diet plan and a short explanation call. Plan-delivery timing and the explanation-call length and format are confirmed before payment.

Is GST included in the price?

The base fee is ₹2,500 and 18% GST is ₹450, making ₹2,950 for this one-off service. Separately booked follow-up consultations are not included.

Why is the consultation only 15 to 30 minutes?

The scheduled consultation is 15 to 30 minutes. Plan preparation occurs after the call. The consultation length within that range depends on the information and nutrition questions that need review.

When will I receive the diet plan?

The plan is prepared after the consultation and review of the information and reports you provide. The delivery timeframe must be confirmed in writing before payment.

Will this replace advice from my oncologist?

No. This supports the care you already receive and does not replace your oncologist, surgeon or treating team. Anything that touches your medical treatment goes back to the team managing it.

What if I need more support after the plan?

Any follow-up consultation is booked and charged separately. This fee does not include ongoing WhatsApp support, plan revisions or an ongoing programme.

Can my family or caregiver join the consultation?

Yes. With the adult patient’s consent, a family member or caregiver may join the consultation and explanation call.

I can barely eat right now. Is this still worth doing?

Often, but urgent symptoms come first. If you cannot keep fluids down, are losing weight rapidly, have new confusion or feel acutely unwell, contact your treating team. Once urgent causes are addressed, the consultation can start from what you can manage now rather than an ideal diet.

Which cancers and treatments do you cover?

The adult consultation can address nutrition during chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery and recovery. The goals depend on diagnosis, treatment and nutrition risk. DietXP will decline or redirect a booking that needs urgent care, paediatric expertise or ongoing multidisciplinary input beyond one consultation.

Do you help with tube feeding at home?

We can help you apply the feeding plan already prescribed by your treating team: day-to-day routines, records and questions to take back to them. Your treating team remains responsible for the formula, route, rate, equipment, medicines and clinical changes. New vomiting, suspected aspiration, a blocked or displaced tube, dehydration or severe diarrhoea need urgent advice from that team, not this consultation.

I already see a dietitian at my hospital. Do I need this?

You may not need this consultation if your hospital dietitian already provides a suitable plan you can follow at home. DietXP may be useful when you need that guidance applied to your household’s cooking and practical food and fluid strategies for nutrition-impact symptoms. It works alongside the hospital team, not in place of it.

Is the consultation online?

Yes. The consultation and explanation call are online and available in English or Hindi. The call format and timing are confirmed before payment.

Care note: this adult consultation supports, and does not replace, care from your oncologist and treating team. Children and adolescents need paediatric oncology and paediatric dietetic care. Nothing on this page is a diagnosis, medical-treatment recommendation or claim about survival, recurrence or cure. If you are acutely unwell, cannot keep fluids down, have new confusion or have a fever during treatment, contact your treating team or call 112.

Practitioner status: dietician, clinical dietician and nutritionist are scheduled categories under India's NCAHP framework. Before payment, ask for the named practitioner's qualification and applicable AHPR/NCAHP or State Council registration/enrolment status. This page does not claim that a practitioner is registered unless that status is supplied and verified.
