Betty Crocker's Living With Cancer Cookbook by Betty Crocker (2001, Hardcover, Illustrated)

This is a great book, I had borrowed one from the Blue Ridge Cancer center and I liked it so much, I decided to see if I could find it on E-bay..sure enough I did.
I like it very much, great recipes, my husband has stage 4 cancer and I cook for him on a daily basis..

Love this cookbook! While my husband Dave was undergoing radiation treatments and surgery for cancer May 20th at University Hospital in Syracuse, New York the Onocology Department had a display of this cookbook. I decided to purchase it on Ebay as they have such wonderful items and prices.

I have made a few recipes from this cookbook which are very filling and packed with protein and vitamins to help the patient eat better and regain strength from this illness. It also offers many solutions for mouth sores, fatigue and other conditions that go with having radiation or chemo treatments. It tells you various snacks to incorporate in your daily meal planning also. I would buy this cookbook again.

This book is a lifesaver!! I have cancer and am undergoing my second regiment of chemo. My first regiment I did with no help or recipes at all and I found myself living on one or two foods alone. Needless to say, by the end of treatment, I was malnourished and grossly underweight! This book has given me the means to eat healthy AND to help combat some of the terrible side effects of chemo. It give you simple, easy and time effective meals to make. There are not a lot of ingredients to deal with, but the ones you do use are very healthy. I am not normally a very healthy eater, but even I love these meals! There is also a question and answer section that helps you to better understand why you are having the side effects that you have. This book is not only informative, but it is also a valuable tool in fighting and dealing with cancer! A MUST HAVE!!

Clear, concise, quick easy recipes. Meals are high protein, rich in vitamins, low carbs, and not budget busters. Even makes sugestions for the use of leftovers. Includes 3 meal 7 day plans, including in between snacks. Plus it provides meal sugestions for when unexpected company comes. Provides food suggestions for counter acting cancer treatment side effects, such as mouth sores, fatigue, muscle aches, constipation, and diarrhea.

Informative introduction that provides a roadmap for the road ahead. Doctor and patient notes and comments throughout the book.

Highly useful for someone just finding out they or a loved one has cancer. I would highly recommend this cookbook as a special practical gift for making a stressful situation better!
