Turning it Around: Cancer and Nutrition

This DVD has been developed by the Rarer Cancers Forum for cancer patients and their families.  It looks at the issue of nutrition and gives a range of hints and tips on how to maintain good nutrition during cancer and into recovery.

Rarer Cancers Forum is grateful to Cancerbackup and Macmillan Cancer Support for their contributions.  The DVD was funded by donations from RCF members and by educational grants from Nutricia and Pfizer Limited.

The DVD is free for paid-up RCF members; £5.00 for non-members inclusive postage and packing. NB Membership of the RCF only costs £5.00 a year, so why not join and receive the DVD for free and enjoy other benefits of membership - a free RCF Access to Best Care pack and a free place at our annual conference!
