My father takes a seaweed extract called Fucoidan, and it has helped minimize the side effects of his chemo. Throughout the chemo treatment, he has not lost weight and has felt pretty "normal" as he puts it.

"Nexavar" is the chemo that he takes orally.

I wasn't know that fish oil is not good if you are taking chemotherapy. I think all cancer patients who are thinking of taking fish oil supplements, must take advice to their doctore before taking it.
