NUTRITION CONSULTATIONS

A registered dietitian/nutritionist is available to patients of the Breast Care Center for nutrition counseling to help cope with the many issues surrounding a Breast Cancer diagnosis, including:

  • Diet and lifestyle changes to reduce further risk.
  • General nutrition guidelines for balanced nutrition.
  • Nutrition guidelines for breast cancer.
  • Nutrition guidelines during radiation or chemotherapy treatment.
  • Coping with nutrition related treatment side effects.
  • Food safety during cancer treatment.
  • Supplements.

We encourage individuals to meet with the nutritionist. This service is available at no cost to UCSF patients being seen at the Breast Care Center. Donations are accepted.

To book an appointment with the nutritionist, simply ask the Breast Care Center front desk personnel, or call the Breast Care Center at 415-353-7070.
