Re: Supplements with chemo/Herceptin
Hi Tanya,
What would high dose supplements consist of?
I take Vit D 2000 iu, multi vitamin (mature multi), fish oil 1200 mg and iron (ferrous gluconate)27 mg besides my prescription meds. I have recently started holding the vit., fish oil and D a day before, the day of and the day after my kadcyla tx. I continue to take the iron.
I generally eat fairly good and love most varieties of fruits and vegetables although I unfortunately supplement them with "junk food" which I try to avoid. I like fish. I also drink a cup of green tea and white tea in the morning and just ordered some green matcha tea to try. So I think I'm getting a fairly good diet without going crazy over it.
I am very confused over all the reports of this that and the other regarding diet, antioxidents, and the immune system.
My onc said to not take my multi around tx day. I have not asked for a referral to a specialist.
My main question is what is considered an antioxident?
Thank you, Cathy
