Does anyone know if there any cons to taking vitamin B?(complex B to cover the bases) This can be effective in helping the nerve problems. Even if there are conflicting opinions on supplements during chemo, perhaps would help you avoid quitting the chemo.
Ruth also did the astralagus and mushrooms and I believe it really, really helped her. She went off them in a window around chemo also. Also took L-glutamine in a protein shake. Avoid the neulasta if you can, and keep the steroids lower also.
If naught else, stay with the Herceptin!
Wishing you the very best...
