I started taking vitamins after the blood work came back after my last chemo. It was a bit of a shock to see how I had deteriorated so now it's Vit D, Calcium and Magnesium (all in one tab) Tumeric, iron, Multi B, Kelp (iodine for my struggling thyroid) and an extra D pill if I haven't been in the sun as the all in one is a bit short of that. I'm in my last week of radiotherapy now and my health has improved significantly apart from the fatigue and burns that were to expected. The burns are worse than the fatigue. I feel much better than I did a couple of months ago, but then I'd want to--I was a wreck.
My onc prescribed the D Calcium combo because of the Femara and recommended the iron as well as suggesting a bit of idodine would be a good thing. He sees no harm in the turmeric or the B vits. To be honest, there is no way of knowing whether I'm doing the right thing or just have the most expensive wee in Victoria.
