ORLANDO, Fla., March 22, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Mesothelioma
is a debilitating asbestos-related cancer whose aggressive
treatments can cause difficulty swallowing, unintended weight loss,
and other problems that keep patients from consuming the nutrients
they need to survive.
As part of National Nutrition Month, The Mesothelioma Center
published "Your Nutrition Guide to Mesothelioma" in partnership
with a registered and licensed dietitian specializing in cancer
care.
The 70-page nutrition guide includes:
- Recipes tailored to reduce common side effects of mesothelioma
treatments.
- Tips on preparing meals packed with the nutrients cancer
patients need.
- Valuable information on mesothelioma, changes in dietary needs,
importance of nutrition before, during and after treatment, and
much more.

"There are three things I tell patients to do to improve their
chances of surviving mesothelioma: Exercise, high protein foods and
attitude," Dr. Jacques Fontaine of
Tampa's Moffitt Cancer Center told
The Mesothelioma Center. "It's very, very important for patients to
keep up their nutrition and protein intake."
Fontaine is one of the top mesothelioma specialists in the
nation.
The Mesothelioma Center is also welcoming Suzanne Dixon to the team. Dixon is a registered
and licensed dietitian as well as an epidemiologist, who will serve
as a resource to those needing an expert source on cancer and
nutrition. Dixon managed the outpatient oncology and HIV/AIDS
nutrition programs at the University of
Michigan Health System, where she helped thousands of people
make optimal nutrition part of their disease management plans.
The Mesothelioma Center will soon launch another avenue for
mesothelioma patients seeking nutrition help: Free consultations
with a registered and licensed oncology dietitian.
These consultations will provide mesothelioma patients
personalized information about balancing their diets, answers to
their questions about dietary supplements, and advice on how to
consume the nutrients they need, among other helpful resources.
