During chemo you should avoid large doses of antioxidant supplements. Theoretically, fish oil, tumeric and a multi vitamin/mineral is fine but large doses of CoQ 10, C, E, A etc are frowned upon - you should consult your doctor or your cancer center's dietician.

Walking is a wonderful exercise as you can start slow (both in speed and the amount of time you do it) and work up.
