I have only just started my chemo journey - Session 2 completed Thursday
The pharmacist who does my meds explained that the high antioxidants can interfere with the ability of the chemo to attach to the cancer cells, therefore taking vitamin c during chemo is not a great idea. I still take calcium and vitamin B from day 4 until my next chemo (10 days). I also use green tea with ginger slice, apple cider vinegar with a drop of honey to help the nausea.
I have been "juicing" since I was diagnosed with my TNBC. It makes me feel better - the juice is one that I found in an cancer survivors book - beetroot, carrot, celery and sometimes kale. I order organic produce (delivered to the door as I cant get out at the moment) and just eat small amounts of what I feel like every 2 hours. Tumeric and curcumin are supposed to be great cancer fighters so I incorporate these into meals when I can.
My oncologist has no problem with complementary therapy as long as I discuss it with him and the pharmacist prior to use.
