VITAMINS
Hi All,
Just wondering what, if any, Vitamins you are on during chemo. Has anything been suggested to you? My chemo program is AC & Taxol.
Thanks!! š

- Kiwi_AngelMemberMy oncologist wanted me to take vitamin D and that was pretty much the only vitamin I took during chemo. My onc told me to use this app as it is the one she refers too as it is from a cancer centre in the states.
- kmakmMemberVitamin D. Been taking it for years as I don't maintain good levels without it.
- kezmuscMemberHi @KateM,
Definitely check with your onc as @Afraser said. There are some vitamins they don't like you taking during chemo. I believe vitamin c is one.
I was told not to take anything as all my levels were good. Same chemo as you.

I took Vitamin D as my D count wasn't good, and raised it significantly before starting chemo. Still keep taking it as I tend to stay out of the sun (burn easily) and it helps with bone density now I am on an AI. I also took Vitamin B to try and counteract peripheral neuropathy with Taxol. Not sure if the latter did any good, might have done more if taken it earlier but I think it did help. Both recommended by my oncologist. Always best to check anything you are taking with your oncologist. Best wishes.
