About us
Founded by and for cancer survivors, the National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship is a patient-centered organization that advocates for quality cancer care for all people touched by cancer. We drive patient-centered public policies to make cancer care the best possible for survivors—from the time of their diagnosis onward—and their loved ones. We represent the interests of cancer survivors to Congress, the federal government, policymakers, payers, providers, and others whose work affects people with cancer. We promote cancer care planning, at diagnosis and at key transition points during treatment and survivorship. We advocate for policies that improve the way our country delivers, regulates, and finances cancer care. We provide tools and information to help survivors be fully engaged in their care. More information is available at www.canceradvocacy.org or 1-888-650-9127.

Unintentional weight loss is common during cancer treatment due to increased energy requirements, lack of appetite, or difficulties eating/drinking. It is crucial for one to get enough calories and protein in order to keep the body strong. One healthy way to increase intake is to add nuts and seeds to your meals or snacks. Some examples are adding sliced almonds or sunflower seeds to salads, walnuts into cereal or oatmeal, chia seeds or flax seeds into smoothies or yogurts. A few tablespoons provides a lot of extra healthy fats and protein! We partner with Savor Health to offer InaⓇ, a virtual Dietician-on-Demand. Sign up to receive more nutrition interventions that can help manage side effects of cancer treatment. It is free and accessible 24/7: https://lnkd.in/e_t8P7jD
