Survivorship refers to the time from a cancer diagnosis onward — whether you’re in active treatment, finished with treatment, or living with advanced or metastatic disease.

It recognises that the cancer experience doesn’t end when treatment does. Survivorship includes the physical, emotional and practical challenges that can continue well beyond diagnosis, and it’s about supporting your health and quality of life for the long haul.

While this eBook is focused on survivorship, some people find they’re able to tolerate a regular diet during treatment — and in those cases, many of these recipes can absolutely be helpful.

If you’re feeling well enough to eat a typical diet, you’ll likely find the meals both practical and enjoyable. However, some recipes may not meet the higher energy or protein needs that cancer treatment places on the body.

Please also note that certain recipes include raw fermented foods like kimchi and kefir, which aren’t recommended if you’re immunocompromised.

No — let’s save the paper! This is a downloadable PDF that you can access anywhere, anytime. Many people find it handy to use a tablet or phone stand on the kitchen bench to follow along with the recipes.

Many of the recipes are plant-based, and if not include notes for flexible options to suit various diet types.

That’s exactly what this guide is here to help with. You’ll find easy-to-follow explanations of which food groups are most beneficial after treatment, which ones are best to reduce, and why. There’s even a visual guide you can pop on the fridge for quick reference.

Emerging research shows that a healthy gut microbiome may play a role in improving treatment outcomes, reducing inflammation, and supporting your immune system. This guide includes specific foods, strategies, and pre/probiotic info to help care for your gut after treatment — especially if it’s taken a hit during chemo.

This eBook doesn’t replace personalised nutrition advice — but it can be a hugely helpful step in the right direction.

For some people, this guide is exactly what they need to feel more confident in their food choices without needing ongoing support. For others, especially those with complex medical needs or who are struggling with their relationship with food, one-on-one nutrition counselling can offer extra clarity and care.

This guide can absolutely be helpful for people with metastatic or advanced breast cancer — many of my clients at this stage find the nutrition information and meal ideas really valuable.

That said, there’s often a layer of complexity with advanced disease. You may have different nutrient needs, or experience side effects that make it harder to meet energy and protein requirements — especially if following a high-fibre eating pattern.

For that reason, I usually recommend a consultation to tailor this approach to your individual needs. We might tweak meals, adjust portion sizes, or add in higher-energy snacks to make sure you're getting the right support for your body.
