A member asked:

What kind of food should we give to 3rd stage cervical cancer patient who is about to undergo radiation?

Low fiber: Radiation treatment for cervical cancer includes treatment of the pelvis. One of the more common symptoms that can develop during treatment is loose stools. Often times a diet high in fiber can make this worse and so we often recommend a low fiber diet. In regards to whether a certain diet can improve the radiation treatment we don't really know the answer to that.

Diarrhea: No limitations unless patient develops diarrhea secondary to radiation.
