Hi all, just looking for a bit of advice. I took my last capcitabine tablets on the 13th December and I'm just wondering if I'd be OK to start taking some supplements and green tea yet? Don't know how long the chemo hangs around in your body? Thanks in advance. Xx

Capecitabine has a very short half life in the body. 6 Weeks on supplements will be fine.

Brilliant, thank you for your reply. Do you know if the oxilaplatin that I had on Nov 29th will be out of my body now as well? Thanks

I think oxy has an even shorter life than cape, however I would ask your care team to be on the safe side, just out of interest there is LOADS of info on supplements on the beating bowel cancer forum some of it is really good and some is a bit overboard
