How to Manage Loss of Appetite

Updated on: Aug 16, 2022

This guide is for people who have loss of appetite before, during or after cancer treatment. It can be used by patients, family, friends or caregivers. It does not replace advice from your health care team. Loss of appetite is when you do not have feelings of hunger or interest in food. If you are not able to eat you may lose weight and not be strong enough for your treatments.

The WWRCP has systemic therapy available in community hospitals throughout the Waterloo Wellington region, putting care even closer to your home. Offering cancer services at small hospitals like Fergus and Mount Forest is so important.
