Morning

Am finishing five weeks of chemo and radiotherapy on friday. 

Due to have a low rectal tumour I am on a low residue diet and laxido twice a day to avoid constipation. 

The low residue diet is basically fibre free which eliminates most things that are good for you such as green veg and fruits etc. 

HAs anyone had any experience of taking supplements after treatment to boost the system?

Waiting to meet with a dietitian to discuss but started my own research already (as I do)

Thanks 

Kev
