Supplements during chemo
I took the following and noted to Dr's:
A & D 25,000/1000IU from fish liver oil
C & E 500mg/400IU
Aloe Gold Whole leaf aloe vera 600mg
and several days after chemo took B Complex until next treatment
I also drink 3-4 qts water daily - TRY to eat healthier foods, avoiding transfats and refined sugars (cancer loves sugar). Reduced the dairy to 3-4 servings (I love cheese and milk but too much is not good)
I love veggies, so lots of broccoli, califlower, carrots, squash.. veggies with scrambled eggs & cheese melted is nice omelet!
Try to eat fish weekly, and upped the fiber (whole wheat or whole grains).
Also drink one Ensure daily...(per my onc as good measure and is nice treat)
On day 5 after chemo went walking - 1 to 2 miles each day (first 5 days was too pooped out!) Continue to get some sort of daily excercise...
I have added the CoQ10 just 30mg to my daily routine and follow the same supplement schedule during herceptin treatments.
