Congratulations on completing your cancer treatment! Recovery continues after your treatment ends and your nutrition plays a vital role in healing, regaining your strength and maintaining a healthy weight.

While you may be eager to have your feeding tube removed, there are important reasons why this isn't removed right away. Your oncologist will discuss removal once you consistently eat by mouth and maintain your weight.

As you are adjusting to eating again by mouth and managing side effects that may occur, like low appetite, nausea and fatigue, Riverside Cancer Care Network's registered dietitian nutritionist provides five expert tips for staying nourished to help you recover and feel stronger each day, including:

✅ How to meet your calorie goals for energy and recovery
✅ Why hydration matters and easy ways to stay hydrated
✅ The importance of protein for rebuilding strength
✅ When to call your care team for support
✅ Why follow-up visits are key to long-term wellness

Your oncologist will discuss removal of your feeding tube once you consistently eat by mouth and maintain your weight. Until then, continue to use your feeding tube for nutrition and hydration as prescribed.
