Meet a Dietitian
Cynthia Choi is certified in cancer nutrition. She facilitates several cooking and nutrition classes.
Nutrition Counseling
During one-on-one appointments with a registered dietitian, you can learn how to:
- Choose and prepare easy-to-eat foods that appeal to your changing sense of taste
- Maintain your appetite during treatment
- Keep a healthy weight
- Meet your vitamin and mineral needs
- Discuss alternative ways to get enough nutrition, such as tube feedings, if needed
Make a one-hour initial appointment to set goals and a half-hour follow-up appointment to ask questions and discuss ways to overcome obstacles. All sessions are free if you're a current or recent cancer patient at Virginia Hospital Center.
