Is it important to have a special diet if I have a brain tumor?

It’s important to take care of yourself by eating well. You need enough calories to maintain a healthy weight. You also need enough protein to maintain your strength. Eating well can help you feel better and have more energy. Sometimes, especially during or shortly after brain tumor treatment, you may not feel like eating. You may feel uncomfortable or tired. You may find that foods don’t taste as good as they used to. In addition, side effects (such as poor appetite, nausea, vomiting, or mouth sores) can make it difficult to eat well. Your doctor, a registered dietitian, or another healthcare provider can suggest ways to address these issues.
