Event Description

Join us for a presentation from two UT Southwestern blood cancer nutrition experts! Michelle and Kathryn will discuss some tips and tricks for helping your loved one to stay nourished during and after AML treatment. With the internet at our fingertips, there is a lot of conflicting information on what to eat and what not to eat during treatment. These dietitians will guide us through some of these commonly asked questions and provide some practical suggestions and resources. We would love for you to attend!
