Hopeful,
Thank you so much for this post. In today's economy many cancer centers want to cut back services and nutrition (if they have a dietitian in the first place) is always an area of target. We are always needing to demonstrate why we are important for patient care and this is just another example. The women in this group are incredible advocates for personal, comprehensive care. It is voices like yours that help keep nutrition services as part of the standard of care.
