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. It does not replace the oncologist, hospital dietitian or treating team.

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.
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.

Who you will talk to
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. Consultations are in English or Hindi, and in Tamil, Marathi or Malayalam with some of our nutrition professionals.
Getting ready
What to have ready for the 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.
- The diagnosis, the treatment plan from the oncologist and the current treatment stage
- 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
When care focuses on comfort
Nutrition when care is focused on comfort
When the treating team’s focus is comfort, food support follows the person’s wishes and what feels manageable.
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.
Emotional support
Emotional support alongside nutrition care
Worry, low mood and fear of recurrence are common during and after cancer, for patients and for the people caring for them. DietXP’s psycho-oncologist, Fathimath Naeema Nasreen, offers online one-to-one counselling for adults with cancer and adult family caregivers anywhere in India.
Counselling is booked separately from this nutrition consultation: ₹4,956 per 45-minute session, including 18% GST (₹4,200 + ₹756). What you say in sessions is confidential: your nutrition professional only hears what you agree to share.
This is not a crisis service. In an emergency, call 112. For free mental health support at any hour, call Tele‑MANAS on 14416.
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 within 2 working days and a short explanation call with the same professional.
Is GST included in the price?
Yes. The base fee is ₹2,500 and 18% GST is ₹450, making ₹2,950 for this one-off service. Follow-up consultations are booked and paid separately.
How do I pay?
By bank transfer (NEFT, RTGS or IMPS) or UPI, after we confirm your booking in writing. We send the payment details on WhatsApp or by email.
Why is the consultation only 15 to 30 minutes?
Much of the work happens around the call: we review your reports beforehand, write your plan afterwards and explain it on a second call. The consultation itself takes 15 to 30 minutes, depending on how much there is to cover.
When will I receive the diet plan?
Within 2 working days of the consultation. It is written after the call, using the information and reports you share, and a short call follows to explain it.
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?
Follow-up consultations are booked and paid separately. This fee does not include WhatsApp support between calls or changes to the plan as treatment changes. Message us if you need more support, and we will explain the options and the fee first.
Is emotional support available as well?
Yes, as a separate service. DietXP’s psycho-oncologist, Fathimath Naeema Nasreen, offers online one-to-one counselling for adults with cancer and adult family caregivers anywhere in India. A 45-minute session is ₹4,956, including 18% GST. Read about emotional support and counselling.
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 the explanation call are both online, in English or Hindi, and in Tamil, Marathi or Malayalam with some of our nutrition professionals. We agree the call format and the time with you when we confirm your booking.
