Re: How many days after chemo treatment can I take probiotic?

You'll have to ask your doctor. Your immunity is lowest between day 7 and day 10.

As far as I know probiotics are currently being studied but their value is not yet known in cancer patients. I suspect they would be fine taken day 11 to 20 but this is only a guess.
