During treatment I saw a dietician who is on staff at my cancer center . She offered good advice at that time. I intend to see her again soon since my nutritional needs have changed (no more milkshakes to maintain my weight! lol!). I believe it was part of their comprehensive program. I dont think there was a charge. Or insurance covered it. Might your cancer center or hospital have something similar? I liked that it was affiliated with a medical facility. .
