Things you might like to discuss with your onc.

DHA long chain Omega 3 has been suggested in trials to work in synergy with taxotere and carboplatin - See links below.

DHA is fundamental to brain function and eyesight. One of my questions is does chemo intervene in the conversion of mother fats to long chain fats which if the case would result in DHA shortages.

The greek diet thread is about the possible benefits of long chain omega 3s as found in fish oil.

Please be sure to take medical advice about dietary change and even more so when in treatment.
