This week's discussion board will focus on cancer, a topic very near and dear to my heart, as I lost my first husband in his early 30's over 10 years ago to stage IV brain cancer, so I not only have a lot of experience professionally but also personally in this space.

We all know or have known someone touched by the deadly condition. It's a very devastating disease that affects millions of lives per year. Still, we don't have a strong handle on how exactly some cancers form in the body and what they are caused from- still determined to be "unknown". Nutrition is extremely critical though, to help prevent cancer, but more importantly if you have developed it, to help aid in healing throughout the treatment process. Surgery, radiation and chemotherapy can all take an extreme toll on the body and there are a lot of side effects patients experience which render them malnourished. You can choose to discuss an important type of supplement or food that cancer patients should focus on to assist their body through treatments OR choose to discuss an alternative therapy that individuals use to combat side effects of the treatment and how that is tied to their nutrition.
