Cancer patients often experience significant financial strain due to the high costs of treatment, medication, and supportive care. This financial burden can make it difficult to afford nutritious food, which is crucial for maintaining strength and supporting the immune system. SNAP can provide essential financial support to help cancer patients afford a balanced diet, which is critical for their overall health and recovery. The program can cover a variety of food items, including fruits, vegetables, meats, dairy products, and whole grains, all of which are important for a cancer patient's diet.
