Nutrition Services
Nutrition is a very important part of life, cancer treatment, and prevention. Food is one of the few things you can be in control of during your treatment. The nutrition world can be very confusing and frustrating. There is help! We are here to help you make informed choices about nutrition and answer any questions you have. Nutrition consultations are available in the Stanford Cancer Center with our registered dietitian, Erika Connor, RD, CSO. If you are a cancer patient and would like to meet with our dietitian on a one-on-one basis, please schedule an appointment by calling (650) 725-9456. The nutrition services are open to all cancer patients at no charge. Telephone consults may be scheduled for patients who live at a distance. Parking passes are provided to all those attending a Cancer Supportive Care Program nutrition appointment at the Cancer Center.
