You mentioned the possible problem of taking antioxidents while undergoing chemo. My onc never asks me what I'm taking.... When I did the month of radiation in July, the radiation onc never asked me what I was taking but he did mention it to another patient undergoing what appeared to be the same treatment/conditions as mine. Also at that time, my primary care physician phoned me and urged me to take extra vitamins E and C to keep my immune system healthy. Water under the bridge perhaps.

Now, however, I have recently added weekly Navelbine to my week Herceptin and am wondering about the supplements I take: extra E and C and reishi mushroom capsules plus pomegranate juice.

Advice, please - and thanks as always. Hope this will also help others who may not even be thinking about these things (if there is reason to be concerned).
