Catherine H. shares her Recipe "Something sweet after a meal was quite appealing. I would make up a batch of these cookies between treatments and freeze them, so it didn't take any effort to have a simple dessert or snack, even while I was on chemo."

A NOTE from DR. GHOSH
Pay special attention to where and at what temperature you store foods. Keep foods covered to increase storage time and to reduce odors in your kitchen. Make large quantities when you can and continue to eat, even when your appetite is down.
