This is actually my first post on here ladies so please don't take offence and I'm not sure how to post any links either. Please check with oncologist about taking turmeric during chemo. I had been taking it as I get eczema (& it was helping heaps with that).......but apparently it's so super potent it can coat the cells that chemo is trying to kill off, meaning chemo isn't as effective......this is a very simplistic explanation but was the easiest I could understand during my chemo haze. My oncology dietician gave me links to the Kettering Sloan memorial hospital where you can search any vitamins/herbs etc and it'll tell you whether it's safe to take or not. I lived by that site and it was amazing how many pharmacists etc tried to tell me to take stuff that wasn't deemed safe during chemo. So I haven't taken it since being told that but am about to start again to help my skin clear up again now that I've finished chemo and radiation. Good luck ladies, it's such a hard bloody slog some days with so much "advice" and contradictions out there!
