Hi! There are some published studies saying to avoid antioxidents during radiation. Does anyone know when it is safe to start taking antioxidents again after your finished with radiation? Any input would be appreciated.

Thank You,

Liz

Liz,

My rads onc told me no vitamin C (antioxidant) during treatment. I asked her when I could resume it, and she literally told me, "five minutes after your final treatment." I don't know of any studies on this.
