Evening all,

An anyone share any experience with taking vitamin supplements on Capox?

I am increasingly frustrated with my oncologist telling me that there 'isn't enough research'!!

Obviously I don't want to interfere with the chemo but I also want to feel as good as I possibly can be.

I am thinking specifically of apple cider vinegar and Starpowa gummy vits.

Thanks in advance!!

Hi Elley019,

One of the nurses during my CAPOX infusion told me no vitamins whilst on treatment... So I haven’t taken any.

(Though am planning to once treatment stops)

Hi, my husband's Oncologist said to stop all supplements ahead of starting chemotherapy as it can have a negative affect on the chemo working. Love Frances xxx
