Addie Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 It depends. The best thing to do is check with his oncologist. I do take a multivitamin and extra calcium....but, for example, the chemo I'm on right now...my onc told me to STOP taking cod liver oil pills, which are essentially Vitamins A and D. There is some conflict or interaction with my chemo meds, apparently. Your brother should make out a list of everything he currently takes and have the doc look at it. Also he can ask about anything he may want to add to the regimen. But really, only his oncologist can answer this for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connie B Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Always, but ALWAYS check those things out with his Onc Doc. Don't hide things from the Onc doc. It could be deadly. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
