We are here to help! Free nutritional counseling is rare in the outpatient world but the benefits are significant. For people suffering from side effects of radiation therapy or chemotherapy, it can make all the difference in the world between tolerating therapy and giving up. Pacific Cancer Foundation provides this service for free! We also provide two different brands of nutritional supplement products free of charge to qualified patients during their treatment through our Liquid Nutritional Supplement Program.
