I believe that during chemo a whole foods diet is the way to go with the only supplement being an inclusive multi vitamin/mineral tablet.
The synergy between whole foods doesn't overdo anything (even eatting a 1/2 cup of blueberries on cereal won't curtail the effects of chemo - but I do believe if you took too many blueberry extract pills the effects would be too much).
If you are only on Herceptin and an aromtase inhibitor (if hormone positive), I think supplements are fine (although whole foods and a superior diet that is free of added sugar is the best medicine ever).
