This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.

What is this trial?

This trial is testing whether an enhanced online nutrition and symptom management program—called Cook for Your Life—can help breast cancer patients better manage the side effects of chemotherapy. Half of participants will get access to the standard website, while the other half will get access to an improved version with additional symptom management information. The study wants to see if the enhanced program helps reduce chemotherapy side effects like nausea, loss of appetite, and fatigue.

Chemotherapy can cause difficult side effects that affect nutrition and quality of life. This trial is exploring whether a better online nutrition and symptom management resource can help patients feel better and cope more easily during their treatment.

Do you qualify?

You likely qualify if…

you are 18 years old or older
you have been diagnosed with stage I, II, or III breast cancer
you are about to start one of the specific chemotherapy regimens at Fred Hutch South Lake Union (or have not yet received your second cycle)
you are able to read and speak English
you have access to a smartphone, tablet, or computer with internet
you are willing to complete online surveys and phone calls through the end of your chemotherapy

You likely don't qualify if…

you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant during chemotherapy

What participation looks like

If you join this study, you'll continue receiving your normal chemotherapy and standard care from your healthcare team, including regular nurse visits and symptom monitoring. You'll be randomly assigned to either the standard Cook for Your Life website or an enhanced version with extra symptom management information. Throughout your chemotherapy, you'll complete online questionnaires and participate in phone assessments to help researchers understand how well the program is working.
