After being diagnosed with cancer, I was terrified of treatment side effects, and was hesitant to start. Dr. Price worked with me to develop a plan that didn’t get in the way of my treatment, and one that my oncology team was comfortable with. I did great, and with minimal side effects. Specific nutrition played a huge role in my recovery and now in my survivorship.
