When someone you love is diagnosed with breast cancer, you want to help. The problem is you don't always know how to provide support.

For those coping with breast cancer, nutrition is essential. Eating the right kinds of foods before, during and after treatment can help keep up strength and protect against infections, so takeout and frozen meals aren't ideal. That's where you come in. Preparing a home-cooked meal is an excellent way to help someone throughout their breast cancer battle and recovery, but before you roll up your sleeves and get to work in the kitchen, watch the video below. It teaches you about an easy, free service called Meal Train LLC which helps you and other friends and family members coordinate meal prep and drop off so you're not all showing up with lasagna tonight.
