Re: It might be possible to keep you hair during chemo
 

My onc said no astralagus or other antioxidants or supplements supporting the immune system. Websites promoting the product advertise that it is for use during chemotherapy and radiation. After reading this thread, I decided to go with my onc's advice. I have a very aggressive cancer and do not want to take any chances. I love you all for your great thoughts and advice!

Re: It might be possible to keep you hair during chemo
 

Interesting thread. Back in Feb I started seeing a holistic nurse to get my nutrition/eating habits up. My onc, who never addresses this kind of stuff, was thrilled I was taking a multi-vitamin, vitamin D supplement, probiotic & CoQ10. He tested my vit d level, which came back in the normal range. The only thing he said was not to take too much vitamin d in case of toxicity, but his idea of a therapeutic level of vit. d is much lower than what more natural approaches recommend so I'm not concerned.

Hi
I also use fish oil, q10, mg, reishi, astralgus, flaxseed oil and meal.....but I leave a 3 day window around the chemotherapy.
