Nutrition & Supplements
Once diagnosed with cancer many patients become interested in ways that diet and nutrition might be able to be incorporated in their cancer treatment. This is certainly true of many brain tumor families. There are lots of sites available on the web that talk about nutrition and cancer. Much less is available from the medical literature.
