"Ann Ogden Gaffney: Cancer Survivor Shares Recipe To Recovery" - Pat Kiernan
After being diagnosed with kidney cancer, Ann Ogden Gaffney didn't want to be scared. Ogden Gaffney channeled her positive energy into the kitchen. She says she found comfort in cooking. Four years after her kidney cancer fight, the Manhattan resident received another diagnosis - this time, breast cancer. She took a closer look at the impact of diet on her treatment. Her experience led her to launch "Cook for Your Life." She teaches cancer patients and caregivers how to make simple, nutritious meals. The classes aren't just cooking lessons. They're life-long tips on maintaining a healthy diet. Some of our patients come in not really with any cooking or kitchen skills but they're really interested in eating healthy. Ann shows them simple, easy, delicious, and healthy ways of doing this," said Chelsey Wisotsky, MS, RD, CDN, clinical nutrition supervisor at Mount Sinai Downtown - Chelsea Center.
