Subject: Interactions with chemo & suppliments?
Date: 01/20/2007

I have been reading up on suppliments that sound like they would be good for my mother, and have bought a few bottles of suppliments.  But does anyone know if it is a good idea or not, seeing that my mother is just going to start chemo Monday (01/22).  Or should we hold off until after her initial appointment?  I do not want her to take anything that might interact with anything that they may give her?

 Since being new here, I want to sincerely thank all of you for your support so far.  You have been wonderful!

My husband takes Immune Defense and a kidney supplement, one to boost his immune system while on chemo and the other to help his kidney function. He actually has fared well with his blood counts etc. after three cycles. Like always check with your doctor. He is also on a multi-mushroom supplement - mitaki, shitaki and reshi - it's been used in Asia to boost the immune system and the mitaki aid in cancer. Check it out. We're trying anything and everything.

The doctors told my mother not to take anything, because it could harm what they are trying to do. They said not even vitamin C! which seems crazy to me since I am a health/vitamin nut! But she is listening to what they are saying.
