Hi, My mom was diagnosed of breast cancer stage 3 July 2008 last year. She undergo 6 cycles of chemotherapy, radiation and her left breast was removed. And August 2009 found out that her breast cancer has mets to liver and bone. She will undergo again chemotheraphy 2 weeks from now. Is there a vitamin or supplement regimen before chemotherapy? I dont want to see my mom weak during chemotheraphy.

 My mom is taking on a daily basis 1 capsule pharmaton capsule, 2 tables of caltrate plus, 3 cups of ensure supplement drink, 500 mg vitamin C. Is this enough? Is it ok to take 2 capsules of Pharmaton (multivitamins)?

Please help me.  I need help.

Thanks.

Regarding your question about supplements during chemotherapy, I found helpful guidance in Keith Block's book, "Life Over Cancer." Good luck.
